What this book is about
The ninth Sword of Truth novel opens with a striking premise: Richard regains consciousness to find that no one remembers Kahlan Amnell — and the magical event that erased her may have been used deliberately. Goodkind continues the series' epic scope while the Chainfire spell creates genuine mystery. The novel includes the violence and philosophical content typical of the series. For readers who have followed the Sword of Truth from the beginning.
