Synopses & Reviews
For the past ten years, master storyteller Terry Goodkind has enthralled millions of readers with his groundbreaking novels. A writer whose last five books have hit at the top of the country's bestsellers lists, including the
New York Times,
USA Today, and the
Wall Street Journal, Terry Goodkind is one of today's premier authors.
Goodkind's stellar popularity stems from his extraordinary talent for writing fast-paced novels that reach out not only to adventure readers, but also to people intrigued by the exploration of the human spirit. Strictly embargoed, each of Terry Goodkind's novels creates strong pre-publication buzz. With no early review copies, critics and readers alike must wait with bated breath to learn what's behind each of his huge bestsellers.
His latest, Chainfire, is no exception. This new novel is the first in the Chainfire Trilogy, a sequence of three novels that will bring the epic story of Richard Rahl and his wife, Kahlan, to its conclusion and mark the end of the bestselling Sword of Truth series.
In Chainfire, after being gravely injured in battle, Richard awakes to discover Kahlan missing. To his disbelief, no one remembers the woman he is frantically trying to find. Worse, no one believes that she really exists, or that he was ever married. Alone as never before, Richard must find the woman he loves more than life itself...if she is even still alive...if she was ever even real.
Terry Goodkind's novels are intensely thought-provoking, sweeping adventures that center on powerful human relationships, the triumph of ideals over force, and the nobility of the human spirit. Chainfire brilliantly continues the tradition, and once again proves that Terry Goodkind is at the forefront of today's legendary authors.

Goodkind was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, where he also attended art school. Alongside a career in wildlife art, he has also been a cabinetmaker and a violin maker, and he has done restoration work on rare and exotic artifacts from around the world -- each with its own story to tell, he says.
