Wizard's First Rule - by Terry Goodkind
Terry Goodkind's debut novel, Wizard's First Rule, is an enthralling addition to the world of fantasy. A great book written by a great writer!
The book starts off in a forest. Richard Cypher, the protagonist of this story, is trying to seek the answer to a riddle of sorts his father left him. Him and his father had always gotten along, although his brother hadn't. Whenever his father left, he would leave Richard something in a blue jar, so he could find it. It was to be their secret. This time, his father was gone for good, so the gift left in the jar was particularly meaningful.
The story drifts to far off lands and strange beasts. It brings the good of the world into a time of dire peril. Wizards and sorceresses, Mord-siths and short-tailed gars, they all come into play in this amazing tale of love, hate, betrayal, success, and above all, truth.
If there is one thing Richard wasn't expecting, it was the end of his former life, and the beginning of his awesome power; debouching from his world into the real world, full of everything horrible and great. Only one being stands in the way of his future. Darken Rahl. Darken Rahl, the antagonist, is trying to rule what his father could not. The World. He can only succeed if all things go his way; unfortunately for him, Richard Cypher, Kahlan Amnell, The Great One, and many others are there to stand in his way, offering not only their services, but their lives to stop his evil plot.
This story will capture not only your mind, but your heart as you read late into the night, using up countless batteries. A captivating tale that will leave you dehiscing and begging for more, this is Wizard's First Rule!
Quote From Book
She took a little run and lifted into the air. Richard watched her circle around him once, low, then fly off, getting smaller, disappearing between hills. A memory struck him: the memory of having seen her before. It had been the day he had first met Kahlan, right after the snake vine had bit him. He had seen her fly overhead just as she had done now, and disappear behind hills. He wondered what she had been doing in Westland that day.
