Product Information

The masterpiece that started Terry Goodkind's New York Times bestselling epic Sword of Truth series , and the basis for the TV show Legend of the Seeker. Wizard's First Rule is the beginning. One book. One Rule. Witness the birth of a legend. 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.

Pristine memento
Unfortunately my favorite author passed away. My daughter and I read this book together, so this is a memento of a great author and a great many moments spent together. It came in flawless condition with a COA. Will buy more of the series in the future.

Better than I hoped for
When the book arrived I was pleasantly surprised. The book it self was in good shape and the dust cover was also in decent condition. It was worth the money and I hope I find more in the series in as good of condition as this one.
