Wizard's First Rule

Wizard's First Rule is the exciting start to one of the best Fantasy Seires of this time. It is written by Terry Goodkind. Wizard's First Rule takes place in a land split in three by a mysterious barrier. The three lands are D'Hara, the Midlands, and Westland. Our star, Richard Cypher lives in Westland. He is a woods guide, and fighter. He is also one of the coolest characeters ever designed. Much like David Palmer in the first and second (though not so much the third) season of 24, he can't seem to make the wrong decision. Westland is a farely safe land, devoid of magic. The Midlands and D'Hara are filled with magic. D'Hara is led by the evil tyrant Darken Rahl. I'd just like to pause for a sceond here, and say how well Terry Goodkind did there. 'Darken Rahl' man you don't need to be a geinus to guess he's evil, what a perfect name. When you meet the character more, the name sounds even better suited. As I was saying, Darken Rahl is the tyrant leader, out there for massive personal gain which you will hear more of later. such things are of little concern to Richard. He is a real good guy, but not interested in the affairs of other lands. yet. One day, he meets a girl in the woods, he helps her, and brings her back to his village. Her name is Kahlan. He takes her to his friend's house, Zedd. Zedd is an old man, who appears slighly mad. He is a cloud gaiser. When they meet him he is standing naked upon a rock. Zedd gives help and advice. He also offers Richard a marvelous gift, the sword of truth. To earn this, Richard must pass a test, he must be able to use his anger. Richard inherits a new responsibility, and then sets off to help the world. Suddenly Darken Rahl is more important.
