Search Worlds Without End

"This is not the way I wanted it to be. Any time but now. Even if by a miracle these children are born, their birth will be their death sentence."
-- Kahlan Amnell.

Only magic protects D'Hara from the Golden Goddess and her kind, the magic of Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell, the magic that the Mother Confessor carries within her womb.

To take this world, the Goddess must ensure Richard and Kahlan's children are never born.

In the dark shadows of the People's Palace the predators are gathering, watching, learning, feeding...

Richard's gaze traced all of the passageways, the rooms, the circular halls, the dead ends, the entrapments, the lateral routes, the complex of twinned and tripled passageways, checking, hoping he was wrong. He wasn't.
"We're in trouble," he said.

Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell are fighting on all fronts. The Golden Goddess, Collector of Worlds, has infiltrated the People's Palace, able to insinuate herself into the minds of those without the gift of magic.

Richard can trust no-one but the gifted. So, when Vika, one of his sworn Mord-Sith bodyguards is abducted, he has to get her back. His determination will lead him and Kahlan deep into the labyrinthine heart of the People's Palace -- the Wasteland -- and into more danger than they have ever faced before.

Richard knew that there would be no help coming. It was all up to him to stop the threat or Kahlan would die.

They all would die.

Nine companions -- Richard, Kahlan, the witch woman Shale and six Mord-Sith, Rikka, Vale, Cassia, Nyda, Berdine and Vika -- are hunting a warlock in the waterlogged depths of the People's Palace. It will take all their skills to close on their quarry, but do any of them understand the true power of a Witch's Oath?

'Tell her I am called Fuer Grissa Ost Drauka -- The Bringer of Death -- and I am coming for her'

The insatiable hunger of Golden Goddess...

The irresistible power of a Witch's Oath...

A fracture in the world of life...

An opening in the world of death...

To confront an apocalyptic nightmare, Richard Rahl must step...

INTO DARKNESS.
