Summary
In Wizard's First Rule, Richard Cypher's
world was turned upside down. Once a simple woods guide,
Richard was forced to become the Seeker of Truth, to save the
world from the vile dominance of Darken Rahl, the most
viciously savage and powerful wizard the world had ever seen.
He was joined on this epic quest by his beloved Kahlan, the
only survivor among the Confessors, who brought a powerful but
benevolent justice to the land before Rahl's evil scourge.
Aided by Zedd, the last of the wizards who opposed Rahl, they
were able to cast him into the underworld, saving the world
from the living hell of life under Rahl.But the veil to the
underworld has been torn, and Rahl, from beyond the veil,
begins to summon a sinister power more dreadful than any he has
wielded before. Horrifying creatures escape through the torn
veil, wreaking havoc on the unsuspecting world above.If Rahl
isn't stopped, he will free the Keeper itself, an evil entity
whose power is so vast and foul that once freed, it can never
again be contained.
