RELEASE NOTES:
I received this today in boxes of books from pjlareau in MN ... for the cost of postage. Thank you so much for spreading the joy of reading with me!!! You are the GREATEST bookcrosser!!
c. 2003 -- 725 pages -- Paperback -- #8 Sword of Truth Fantasy -- Adventure of intrigue, conflict and peril -- 1 week on the USA Today top-10 Bestseller list (#7 on 7/27/03)
Back Cover: It begins ... "You knew they were there, didn't you?" Kahlan asked. Against the darkening sky, she could just make out the shapes of 3 black-tipped races taking to wing, beginning their nightly hunt. That was why he'd stopped. "Yes," Richard said. He gestured over his shoulder without turning to look. "There are two more, back there." Kahlan briefly scanned the dark jumble of rock, but she didn't see any others.
Lightly grasping the silver pommel with 2 fingers, Richard lifted his sword a few inches, checking that it was clear in its scabbard. A last fleeting glimmer of amber light played across his golden cape as he let the sword drop back in place. In the gathering gloom of dusk, his familiar, tall, powerful contour seemed as if it were no more than an apparition made of shadows. Just then, 2 more of the huge birds shot by right overhead. One, wings stretched wide, let out a piercing scream as it banked into a tight gliding turn, circling once more in assessment of the 5 people below ... This night they would find ample food.

I finished reading this today. My DH and I read it together. Its another good book in this fantasy series. I liked the fact that Richard and Kahlan shared their adventure together in this one. As always, the characters are on the verge of dieing and the Empire taking over.
Quotes: (page 511) "Wizard's Eighth Rule," Richard whispered in translation. "Talga Vassternich."
(page 658) "Richard faced them as the leader of the D'Haran Empire, an empire struggling to survive, to be free, and told them those two words in their language. Deserve Victory."
(page 710) "It's nothing," Friedrich scoffed. "If I had some gold leaf, then I could gild it for you. That used to be what I did for a living."
