DESCRIPTION:
Richard Rahl and his wife, Kahlan, have been reunited after their long separation, but with winter descending and the paralyzing dread of an army of annihilation occupying their homeland, they must venture deep into a strange and desolate land. Their quest turns to terror when they find themselves the helpless prey of a tireless hunter. For everyone else, the torment is about to begin. But if they are to live, they must stop the relentless, unearthly threat that comes out of the darkest night of the human soul. Exploited by those intent on domination, Jennsen finds herself drawn into the center of a violent struggle for conquest and revenge. She at last discovers a way to silence the voices. Worse yet, she finds her will seized by dark forces more abhorrent than anything she ever envisioned. Only then does she come to realize that the voices were real. Staggered by loss and increasingly isolated, Richard and Kahlan desperately struggle to survive. To do so, Richard will be called

I really loved this and the last books best. Between the two, Mr. Goodkind clearly st as Ted Kennedy philosophy to which I can relate, it resonates."Life is the future, not the past. The past can teach us, through experience, how to accomplish things in the future, comfort us with cherished memories, and provide the foundation of what has already been accomplished. But only the fut. "Even better" according to Amazon Customer Donna Isbell. I read this series so many years ago . So many that I've forgotten so much so it's like reading it for the first time . This was fabulousI've been reading this series non stopI'm off to the eighth book now
