Soul of the Fire

Richard Cypher, a simple woods guide, never dreamed he would get caught up in magic, war, and dangers so extraordinary that the fate of the entire world would hang on his actions and decisions.
Richard slowly learned to accept his true role, first as the Seeker and the wielder of the Sword of Truth and then as the new Lord Rahl and the war wizard who led the fight against the Keeper and his dark minions.
Richard was faced with an evil even he couldn't stand against - a dread plague loosed by the mad Emperor Jagang. Only by journeying to the Temple of the Winds was Richard able to thwart the plans of Jagang and save his world and the life of his beloved Kahlan.
But when Kahlan summoned the dominion of the chimes to save Richard, unwittingly she loosed arcane powers that now not only threaten those she loves, but are bent on reshaping the world itself into forbidding visions that will forever alter the very nature of life itself.
Richard and Kahlan must now hunt down the chimes, those most mysterious of hunters - the unseen stalkers of souls, the thieves of order - and in so doing plunge headfirst into danger perilous. For there is no place so dangerous as a world without magic.
