"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Fantasy series fans may argue over the relative merits of Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth, George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire, and Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, but in a world of middle books that go nowhere and endless waits between episodes, Goodkind is certainly still serving up some of the best fantasy on today's menu.
The Seeker of Truth and his Mother Confessor sweetie are both looking a little worse for the wear after their chime-hunt in Soul of the Fire. To top that off, Lord Rahl finds himself a reluctant prophet with the vision that their cause, the fight for freedom against the Imperial Order, is essentially sunk. (Chalk that up to part of the Wizard's First Rule: people really are stupid.) The two lovers soon find themselves separated, Richard off to the Old World thanks to treacherous Sister of the Dark Nicci, and Kahlan left behind, forced to betray Richard and his prophecy by raising an army to fend off the approaching armies of Emperor Jagang.
Whether it's fair or not, Goodkind will likely get beaten up a bit for visiting the trough once too often, à la Jordan. But fear not: Faith of the Fallen does progress at a good clip, and its conclusion--while by no means a final payout--should satisfy. --Paul Hughes
New York Times bestselling author Terry Goodkind returns to tell the newest tale of The Sword of Truth, throwing Seeker Richard Rahl and Mother Confessor Kahlan Amnell to the opposite ends of the world in their struggle against the relentless and monolithic forces of the Imperial Order.
When a Sister of the Dark captures Richard, he makes a desperate sacrifice to ensure that his beloved Kahlan remains free. Taken deep into the Old World and forced to help build a new Palace of the Prophets, he is determined to remain defiant even in the heart of darkness.
Left behind and unwilling to abandon the cause of the Midlands, Kahlan violates prophecy and breaks her last pledge to Richard to raise an army against the advancing hordes of the Imperial Order. Finally she will come face to face with the force of terror sweeping her land -- the army of the mad dreamwalker, Emperor Jagang.
Separated and fighting for their lives, Richard and Kahlan will be pushed to the limits of their endurance and tested in their love for one another. Terry Goodkind spins a tale of love and loss sure to enthrall readers around the world.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. SOUL OF THE FIRE saw the political machinations that have dogged the midlands reach new heights as the Chimes ran free and threatened magic everywhere. As the novel ended Kahlan has narrowly avoided death and now she and Richard Rahl, the Seeker, must strive again to save the world from the resurgent armies of the Emperor Jagang. From the very first page FAITH OF THE FALLEN PITCHES Richard and Kahlan into their most desperate fight yet, a fight where worlds once again hang in the balance. Richard must embark on a course of action that will leave his people feeling betrayed and vulnerable and which will take both he and Kahlan away from the protection of the D'Haran armies. But he has no choice; Richard, who distrusts prophecy more than anyone, has had a vision. It is a vision he is compelled to follow. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001175036
