The masterful telling of Richard Cypher's odyssey that began in "Wizards First Rule" continues with an ordeal that will test him, body and soul. Using his emerging arcane talents and the power of the sword of truth which only he can weild, Richard faces the ultimate evil, the dread keeper of the underworld who has freed the spirit of Richard's nemesis, Darken Rahl. Unless Richard can control his powers, no one, not even Richard's beloved Kahlan, the powerful yet benevelent Mother Confessor, will survive the keepers plot. But keeping Richard from his magic are the sisters of the light, who while vowing to train him to discipline his talent, hold his liberty-his very life- in their hands. Can Richard win his freedom before his world is destroyed by the foul magic of the underworld?

Really really long books. 982 pages! For those who like to hang around for a long time in a fantasy. I can't believe I read the whole thing!
