Synopsis

The masterpiece that started Terry Goodkind's New York Times bestselling epic Sword of TruthIn 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.Wizard's First Rule is the beginning. One book. One Rule. Witness the birth of a legend.

About Terry Goodkind

One would never think that a person with dyslexia would become a writer of novels. However, American author, Terry Goodkind crossed the usual boundary and wrote his first novel, even though he did not receive a formal education. He began his adult life building cabinets and violins, as well as was a marine/wildlife artist. His first novel, Wizard's First Rule, was published in 1994, thus beginning his illustrious career. He is now also a part-time race car driver, and is also a devoted husband and a friend to animals.

To quote Author Terry Goodkind........My privilege in life is the joy of writing books and telling stories about people who fascinate me, the good and the bad.

Goodkind's newest novel is NEST, where readers will be drawn into a world that is dark and evil. He remains one of the most controversial thriller writers of our time.

I am a fan of the show Legend of the Seeker and thought that I would try out the series. I love the book! It was different from the show so it was interesting to read the differences. It is grittier and darker. It is a lengthy book, but you never noticed. I could not put it down toward the end of the book.

5-stars for the story. The version read by Sam Tsoutsouvas is much better. Booksfree has both.

Goodreads review by J.G. Keely on September 03, 2007

It is always curious to see fantasy authors who don't consider themselves to be fantasy authors. Case-in-point: Terry Goodkind. The former landscape painter has told us how he isn't a fantasy author in every interview he's ever given: "The books I write are first of all novels, not fantasy, and that......more

This is the beginning. One book. One Rule. Witness the birth of a legend. There are books you read once, you enjoy them and never give them a second thought. There are books you love and want to share this love with the entire world. And then there are books that are so precious to you that talking a......more

Goodreads review by Dave on June 18, 2010

The sheer depth of Wizard's First Rule is simply amazing. His characters are unique and original, yet seem simple when you realize that they aren't perfect. Every chapter you read will cling you tighter to his series. Of course, many will dislike Terry Goodkind's works, either because he establishes......more

*** 3.44 *** "...“People are stupid. They will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true.”..." This was much better than it would seem when you first start the book. It is a linear story, no multiple POV's or constant action sequences, but engros......more

Still 5/5 for me. Some of my favorite quotes: "I don't think I could ever trust anyone who doesn't like cheese. It's not natural" -Zedd" "Don't step off the Narrows. There be death" "Zedd's first question upon waking up: "How many meals have I missed?" He leaned forward:"What's wrong with your leg?" "Noth......more
