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.
Wizard's First Rule is the beginning. One book. One Rule. Witness the birth of a legend.

A fantastic start to an epic saga
Sarah W. - 10 months agoThis book is an amazing beginning to the Sword of Truth series. It can also be read as a standalone novel, but you will be left wanting to know what happens to the fantastic characters that Terry Goodkind created. The fantasy tones are subtle but extremely engaging, making this a perfect introduction to the genre for new fantasy readers.

Magic against Magic, Steel against Steel
Monica V. - 6 years 9 months agoThe Sword of Truth series is a twist and turn science fiction/fantasy about the main character finding himself with the help of friends and family that includes fighting for "Free Will" against Tyranny. The main character is chosen as The Seeker of Truth to fight for the right to live instead of living under the evil Darken Rahl and Emperor Jagang. Overall, Magic against Magic, Steel against Steel, Good verse Evil which will it be in the end? With one more book to read in the series, I am looking forward to finding out which prevails in the end... It has been a "can't put the book down" read and would recommend to others.

Epic Fantasy
Andrew D. - 7 years 9 months agoStorytelling on the level of "Star Wars," only with swords and magic. A tale of love and righteous anger in defense of those who cannot defend themselves. All the elements are here: A hero of humble beginnings, a wise old mentor, a strong female counterpart and a quest to stop an incredibly evil villain. The best part is, if you enjoy it, there are plenty more where it came from.
