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.
The envious and evil denizens of the Old World once more launch an attack on the sovereignty of the New World, threateding the security of humanity and all that Richard Cypher, Wielder of the Sword of Truth, holds dear.
In Wizard's First Rule, Richard Cypher's life changes dramatically when he becomes the Seeker of Truth, tasked with saving the world from Darken Rahl, a powerful and malevolent wizard. Alongside his beloved Kahlan, the last of the Confessors who once brought justice to the land, and Zedd, the final wizard opposing Rahl, they manage to cast him into the underworld, temporarily halting his reign of terror. However, the barrier to the underworld has been breached, allowing Rahl to summon a new, terrifying power. Nightmarish creatures begin to emerge, threatening the world above. If Rahl succeeds in freeing the Keeper, an entity of unimaginable evil, it will be catastrophic.
To confront this looming threat, Richard must endure the trials of the Sisters of the Light to manage the pain of his magical heritage. Meanwhile, Kahlan embarks on a perilous journey to Aydindril, seeking Zedd's assistance for their desperate fight against Rahl and the Keeper's minions. Their path is fraught with war, suffering, and betrayal, and they face the grim possibility of violent death. Their only hope lies in their courage, faith, and a stroke of luck as they search for the elusive Stone of Tears.
