New Releases by Terry Goodkind

Avonturier en minnaar, vluchteling en jager, in elk opzicht een rechtvaardig mens, dit alles is Richard Cypher, de Zoeker. Over hem en zijn geliefde Kahlan gaat dit epos - de Wetten van de Magie - dat, spannend en aangrijpend tegelijk, over de hele wereld miljoenen aan zich wist te binden. De Bloedbroederschap, het verbond van fanatieke, nietsontziende anti-magiers, is een formidabele tegenstander. Dat ondervindt Richard Cypher, de Zoeker, als hij een driedubbele taak moet volbrengen: de gevreesde Jagang verslaan, zijn geliefde Kahlan redden en de poort naar de Oude Wereld sluiten. Alleen met de kracht van de liefde en het geloof in de Waarheid zal hij deze taken kunnen volbrengen en het kwaad kunnen keren. `Een kettingreactie van kracht, macht, machteloosheid en magie.'' - Locus

The #1 New York Times bestseller is now available in paperback! Hannis Arc, working on the tapestry of lines linking constellations of elements that constituted the language of Creation recorded on the ancient Cerulean scroll spread out among the clutter on his desk, was not surprised to see the seven etherial forms billow into the room like acrid smoke driven on a breath of bitter breeze. Like an otherworldly collection of spectral shapes seemingly carried on random eddies of air, they wandered in a loose clutch among the still and silent mounted bears and beasts rising up on their stands, the small forest of stone pedestals holding massive books of recorded prophecy, and the evenly spaced display cases of oddities, their glass reflecting the firelight from the massive hearth at the side of the room. Since the seven rarely used doors, the shutters on the windows down on the ground level several stories below stood open as a fearless show of invitation. Though they frequently chose to use windows, they didn''t actually need the windows any more than they needed the doors. They could seep through any opening, any crack, like vapor rising in the early morning from the stretches of stagnant water that lay in dark swaths through the peat barrens. The open shutters were meant to be a declaration for all to see, including the seven, that Hannis Arc feared nothing.

Richard Rahl und seine geliebte Kahlan haben triumphiert. Die Bedrohung durch den finsteren Kaiser Jagang ist endgültig beseitigt, und endlich kehrt Frieden in D''Hara ein. Doch nicht für lange! Ein uraltes Orakel, das sich noch nie geirrt hat, prophezeit eine Katastrophe, die nicht nur Richard und Kahlan treffen wird, sondern jeden Menschen und alle Geschöpfe. Es scheint nur eine Möglichkeit zu geben, das Unheil abzuwenden - und der Preis dafür ist höher, als ihn ein Sterblicher zu zahlen vermag ...
