About this product

Product Information

The masterpiece that started Terry Goodkind's New York Times bestselling epic Sword of Truth series , and the basis for the TV show Legend of the Seeker. Wizard's First Rule is the beginning. One book. One Rule. Witness the birth of a legend. In the aftermath of the brutal murder of his father, a mysterious woman, Kahlan Amnell, appears in Richard Cypher's forest sanctuary seeking help . . . and more. His world, his very beliefs, are shattered when ancient debts come due with thundering violence. In a dark age it takes courage to live, and more than mere courage to challenge those who hold dominion, Richard and Kahlan must take up that challenge or become the next victims. Beyond awaits a bewitching land where even the best of their hearts could betray them. Yet, Richard fears nothing so much as what secrets his sword might reveal about his own soul. Falling in love would destroy them--for reasons Richard can't imagine and Kahlan dare not say. In their darkest hour, hunted relentlessly, tormented by treachery and loss, Kahlan calls upon Richard to reach beyond his sword--to invoke within himself something more noble. Neither knows that the rules of battle have just changed . . . or that their time has run out.

    Pristine memento

    Unfortunately my favorite author passed away. My daughter and I read this book together, so this is a memento of a great author and a great many moments spent together. It came in flawless condition with a COA. Will buy more of the series in the future.

    This first book in a series is as great as its last! a REALLY great form of escape and a new outlook on life at the same time! A favor to yourself!!

    First, the story itself is one of the most compelling and original stories i have found in Fantasy genre and that i have come across over the years, works that are derivitave of this work alone! In short, other authors of the genre have politely 'ripped-off' of Terry Goodkind as often as i would bet happens to Stephen King!...which in itself is pure falttery for T. Goodkind i would bet! and the fack that i can get it so inexpensively and in SUCH great condition (im talking Barnes&Such quality)..just goes to show that shopping ebay only takes the smallest of steps in good faith.... that good faith will be rewarded!

    The fantasy book that will hook you ont he series

    Not quite sure where to begin with this book. I have read it several times (in soft cover edition) and decided to buy the hardcover version because I loved it so much. Forbidden love, ancient secrets, ancient magic, hidden identities, it's got it all. I bought this book originally on a whim, with some left over money on a gift card, and now I own the entire series, all 12 books. The author makes you think with these books, makes you think about your own life. His writing style creates vivid images in your head, with the perfect mixture of description, and actual story. Characters are real, and you can relate to them (in the oddest ways sometimes) Book has moderate vocabulary, not 'baby' words like all these new series like twilight, and harry potter. Sentences are beautifully ...

    Finally a Sci- Fi book you can read over and over again

    I picked this book up by accident one day and fell in love with it. There are so many plots. turns and twists. Excellent characters, which the author develops so well. I wish the series would be produced as a film. I don't know how many times I have reread it. Richard the woods guide (and so much more to be discovered, Kahlan, the beautiful lonely Mother Confessor, Zedd the teacher, grandfather, and wizard (who is my favorite character)plus you can't forget all the bad guys, especially Lord Rahl !!! I have all the books of the series (Sword of Truth) and I'm disappointed there is only one book left to conclude the series... Every page is exciting, and Terry doesn't just ramble, he leaves you anticipating the next book every time.

    Wizard's First Rule Great Book

    This is by far one of the best first books in a massively produced genre that hosts many fantasy series, sagas, and great authors. Goodkind really keeps readers involved and anxious with his descriptive, creative, and intriguing writing style. There is just enough action to get you involved and just enough dialogue to get a true fell for the characters. He doesn't go over the top with pages of meaningless descriptive nonsense like some other authors seem to always do. Truly an original piece of work, filled with a world full of new creatures and ideas. This is one of the books that I blame for really getting me so interested in reading in the first place, and anyone that picks this one up will not put it down until the last page. RATING: 5 / 5 STARS Recommended Authors: Robert Jordan ...
