Book 1: Wizards First Rule
The masterpiece that started The New York Times bestselling epic Sword of Truth
In the aftermath of the brutal murder of his father, a mysterious woman, Kahlan Amnell, appears in Richard Cypher's forest sanctuary seeking help . . . and more. His world, his very beliefs, are shattered when ancient debts come due with thundering violence.
In a dark age it takes courage to live, and more than mere courage to challenge those who hold dominion, Richard and Kahlan must take up that challenge or become the next victims. Beyond awaits a bewitching land where even the best of their hearts could betray them. Yet, Richard fears nothing so much as what secrets his sword might reveal about his own soul. Falling in love would destroy them--for reasons Richard can't imagine and Kahlan dare not say.
In their darkest hour, hunted relentlessly, tormented by treachery and loss, Kahlan calls upon Richard to reach beyond his sword--to invoke within himself something more noble. Neither knows that the rules of battle have just changed . . . or that their time has run out.
This is the beginning. One book. One Rule. Witness the birth of a legend.
Book 2: Stone of Tears
An Epic of Awesome Power
Kahlan has at last gained the one goal she had always thought was beyond her grasp ... love. Against all odds, the ancient bonds of secret oaths, and the dark talents of men long dead, Richard has won her heart.
Amid sudden and disastrous events, Richard's life is called due to satisfy those treacherous oaths. To save his life, Kahlan must forsake Richard's love and cast him into the chains of slavery, knowing there could be no sin worse than such a betrayal.
Richard is determined to unlock the secrets bound in the magic of ancient oaths and to again be free. Kahlan, alone with the terrible truth of what she has done, must set about altering the course of a world thrown into war. But even that may be easier than ever winning back the heart of the only man she will ever love.
Book 3: Blood of the Fold
An Epic of Two Worlds
In a world as rich and real as our own, Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell stand against the ancient forces which besiege the New World-- forces so terrible that when last they threatened, they could only be withstood by sealing off the Old World from whence they came. Now the barrier has been breached, and the New World is again beset by their evil power.
War and treachery plague the world, and only Richard and Kahlan can save it from an armageddon of unimaginable savagery and destruction.
Terry Goodkind, author of the brilliant bestsellers Wizard's First Rule and Stone of Tears, has created his most masterful epic yet, a sumptuous feast of magic and excitement replete with the wonders of his unique fantasy vision.

What can I say. It's like junk food for the brain. I still enjoyed them a great deal.Terry Goodkinds first book, Wizards First Rule, was entertaining many years ago when I was a relatively new adult epic fantasy reader. Except for the actual First Rule ("People are Stupid"), which was... stupid. The story had some fascinating characters (mostly the secondary ones I could never muster up much care for Kahlan) and Richard started out as a pretty good hero. The next couple of books of The Sword of Truth were also fun for someone who is not particularly demanding (which I wasn't at
I only read the first one. I enjoyed the story very much but I felt the author went a little over board on the disturbing sexual abuses. It seemed an easy way to get your audience to hate the antagonists. From what my sister told me of the second book, I didn't think I could stomach the second one. Though I did want to continue the story.
I am shocked by the number of people putting unmarked 'spoliers' in their reviews! A review is NOT a book report. In the future, I will not read the reviews. I am not interested in a synopsis of the entire book. Anyone putting 'spoilers' in their review should clearly, in capital, bold-faced font write SPOILER! at the beginning of their post. Or simply use (view spoiler)[ text text (hide spoiler)].I have read the first book completely, Wizards First Rule. It is fast moving with deeply developed

This was an epic adventure wrapped around a tale of true love. I most enjoyed the contrast in the characters whether they were good or evil as well as those trapped somewhere in between. Even the very powerful had their limitations and the most powerful of all had no idea how to utilize the power he possessed by birthright. The series could have stopped after the first two novels and I would have been completely satisfied. I believe the series went on to fill 13 or more novels and I stopped
The first 3 books of this series were gripping and amazing. Starting with book 4 the story line started going downhill and halfway through book 5 I lost interest completely. How many times can the two main characters, who were deeply in love, be separated? It got old for me which is why I quit reading this series.
