From Terry Goodkind, author of the Sword of Truth series, comes a sweeping new n
ovel of Richard Rahl, Kahlan Amnell, and their world. From the far reaches of th
e D'Haran Empire, Bishop Hannis Arc and the ancient Emperor Sulachan lead a vast
horde of Shun-Tuk and other depraved 'half-people' into the Empire's heart, rai
sing an army of the dead in order to threaten the world of the living. Meanwhile
, far from home, Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell must defend themselves and their
followers from a series of terrifying threats, despite a magical sickness that
depletes their strength and which, if not cured, will take their lives...sooner
rather than later.
