The Sword of Truth saga continues with Naked Empire, from New York Times-bestselling Terry Goodkind--

a sprawling epic adventure focusing on the central figures of Richard and Kahlan.

Beginning with Wizard's First Rule and continuing with subsequent fantasy masterpieces, Terry Goodkind has thrilled and awed millions of readers worldwide with his Sword of Truth series, the basis for the TV show Legend of the Seeker.

Here 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.
