Publisher Description
An epic of awesome power from Terry Goodkind, the second installment of the bestselling series A Sword of Truth
Kahlan has at last gained the one goal she had always thought was beyond her grasp...love. Against all odds, the ancient bonds of secret oaths, and the dark talents of men long dead, Richard has won her heart.
Amid sudden and disastrous events, Richard's life is called due to satisfy those treacherous oaths. To save his life, Kahlan must forsake Richard's love and cast him into the chains of slavery, knowing there could be no sin worse than such a betrayal.
Richard is determined to unlock the secrets bound in the magic of ancient oaths and to again be free. Kahlan, alone with the terrible truth of what she has done, must set about altering the course of a world thrown into war. But even that may be easier than ever winning back the heart of the only man she will ever love.
War, suffering, torture, and deceit lie in their paths, and nothing will save them from a destiny of violent death, unless their courage and faith are joined with luck and they find the elusive...Stone of Tears.
Customer Reviews
Enjoyable...
I actually enjoyed Mr. Bond's narration. I know that puts me in the small minority. But, I don't think it is NEARLY as bad as it's been portrayed. As far as the book goes, it's really all about taste. Goodkind is very good at...well...being Terry Goodkind. Good overall story, very likeable and well developed characters but rather average writing. I don’t mean to be disparaging (I am a fan) but if I have to hear “he pushed back the lump in his throat” OR “Tears weld up in his/her eyes” one more time… tears are going to well up in MY eyes. Also, and I mean this with as much respect as I can muster, If you are of the very liberal political persuasion you may want to look elsewhere for your fantasy fix. Goodkind is heavily influenced by Ayn Rand. And doesn’t even remotely try to hide it. Especially in later works in the series.

this is an amazing book. but the naration is done by a robot. its awful and insulting
A Great Story, Narration Hard to get into it, at first.
This book is amazing, I really liked it, however, after the first, which was read by an incredible narrator, left an incredible sense of madness in me for the first 10 or so chapters, this narrator seems to get to the end of a line in a book, and realize the sentence of the line of above hasn't ended, so it sounds really choppy, he seems to get more interested in the story as he reads, however. Five Star Story, One Star Narrator, he does grow on you throughout the book once you get used to him being bad.
