Book 5 of the Sword of Truth series. In the previous volume, our hero Richard Rahl, wielder of the Sword of Truth and his lover Kahlan unwittingly released upon the New World a terror from the malign and wild magic of the Old World. The Chimes now run free in the Midlands and Richard and Kahlan, powerful in their own right, begin to see their own magic undermines, leaving the people of the New World vulnerable to encroaching evil. Richard and Kahlan are destined to see their souls tempered in the fiery cauldron of battle, and for them there is no place so dangerous as a world without magic, a world where the Chimes run free . . .
