Description
In the aftermath of the brutal murder of his father, Richard Cypher encounters a mysterious woman, Kahlan Amnell, in his forest sanctuary. She seeks his help...and more. His world, his very beliefs, are shattered when ancient debts come due with thundering violence.
In their darkest hour, 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.
This is the beginning. One book. One rule. Witness the birth of a legend.

I know that some argue the series is derivative of other's work, but I would argue that most stories have kernels of other's truth. Look at Shakespeare or George Bernard Shaw, did they not base their works on other's ancient writing?
I believe that Goodkind created in Richard a person whom we all could both identify and strive to emulate. His descriptive writing pulls us into his world and I would even argue changing our perception of our own. It is not a perfect series. The Pillar book is practically useless except for the last bit. But as a whole I consider the Sword of Truth series a classic. The only thing that annoys me is Kahlan, her often defeatist and whiney attitude can be annoying.
Overall it is a great series. Enjoy.
