The masterpiece that started Terry Goodkind's New York Times bestselling epic Sword of Truth

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.

Wizard's First Rule is the beginning. One book. One Rule. Witness the birth of a legend.

The Narrator did a really great job. I read half of these books years ago and decided to make them a part of my one hour commute each way to work, and I couldn't wait to hop in the car and keep listening. I wish this narrator did the entire series...
As for the story itself..Terry Goodkind has created a truly magical world that I wish I could visit. The man could describe to you exactly what he imagined his world to be with his brilliant descriptions down to the most beautiful detail. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to begin an epic fantasy journey with characters you'll come to love. On to the next one!

I've read the books a million times. I wanted to have someone read them to me for a change.

Sam's performance of the books is absolutely amazing. His character voices can be a bit silly at times, but he totally commits to it. He sells the characters and story well. When narrating the third person perspective, his voice is very easy to listen to. I fell asleep to this audiobook on many different nights.

Amazing.
