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. This is the beginning. One book. One Rule. Witness the birth of a legend. 1323305 book 1994 Wizard's First Rule (Sword of Truth, #1) total:8651|5:3952|4:2737|3:1284|2:418|1:261| 8651 35653 11074 1028 2 33 false false Tue Jul 24 14:59:34 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 24 15:02:39 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 14 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Aug 31 13:31:53 -0700 2007 Fri Dec 05 14:39:39 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 13 false false Sun Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 1998 Sun May 13 20:34:40 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 03 21:47:05 -0700 2007 more...]]> 1 14 false false Thu Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sun Aug 12 16:21:58 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 12 16:31:52 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 9 false true Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Mar 22 14:50:14 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 15 08:53:53 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 10 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 05 16:25:44 -0700 2007 Wed Nov 07 07:27:27 -0800 2007 more...]]> 1 8 false false Sat Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Wed Oct 08 15:46:05 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 08 15:48:01 -0700 2008 1 more...]]> 1 8 false false Wed May 07 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Feb 05 05:50:50 -0800 2008 Mon May 12 20:18:35 -0700 2008 This book reads like a game of Dungeons and Dragons.

I'm just not a fan. I figured out how the book would end as soon as "wizard's first rule" entered into the plot.
