Synopsis

With Wizard's First Rule and seven subsequent masterpieces, Terry Goodkind has thrilled readers worldwide with the unique sweep of his storytelling. Now Goodkind, in Chainfire, returns with a new novel of Richard and Kahlan, the beginning of a sequence of three novels that will bring their epic story to its culmination.

After being gravely injured in battle, Richard awakes to discover Kahlan missing. To his disbelief, no one remembers the woman he is frantically trying to find. Worse, no one believes that she really exists, or that he was ever married. Alone as never before, he must find the woman he loves more than life itself....if she is even still alive. If she was ever even real.

PRAISE FOR THE WORK OF TERRY GOODKIND

"Outstanding...Characters who actually behave like adults. Highly recommended."
--San Diego Union-Tribune

"Goodkind's greatest triumph: the ability to introduce instantly identifiabel characters. His heroes, like us, are not perfect. Instead, each is flawed in ways that strengthen rather than weaken their impact."
--SFX

"Few writers have Goodkind's power of creation."
--Publishing News

"Teeming with violence, treachery, and intrigue."
--Publishers Weekly

"Eminently readable."
--Booklist
