Now reading...

I swore that after I finished my last book, I'd get back to the King Tut book I abandoned about 8 months ago and finish it. Alas, I can't seem to resist the call of the Sword of Truth. So, I'm back to re-reading the series where I left off when the final book of The Wheel of Time was released.

"Naked Empire" by Terry Goodkind

From BarnesandNoble.com:

Beginning with Wizard's First Rule and continuing with six subsequent fantasy masterpieces, Terry Goodkind has thrilled and awed millions of readers worldwide. Now Goodkind returns with a broad-canvas adventure of epic intrigue, violent conflict, and terrifying peril for the beautiful Kahlan Amnell and her husband, the heroic Richard Rahl, the Sword of Truth.

Richard Rahl has been poisoned. Saving an empire from annihilation is the price of the antidote. With the shadow of death looming near, the empire crumbling before the invading hordes, and time running out, Richard is offered not only his own life but the salvation of a people, in exchange for delivering his wife, Kahlan, into bondage to the enemy.
