Product Description:
The Sword of Truth, Boxed Set I, Books 1-3 Wizard's First Rule, Stone of Tears, and Blood of the Fold
Book 1: Wizards First Rule The masterpiece that started The New York Times bestselling epic Sword of Truth
In the aftermath of the brutal murder of his father, a mysterious woman, Kahlan Amnell, appears in Richard Cypher's forest sanctuary seeking help . . . and more. His world, his very beliefs, are shattered when ancient debts come due with thundering violence.
In a dark age it takes courage to live, and more than mere courage to challenge those who hold dominion, Richard and Kahlan must take up that challenge or become the next victims. Beyond awaits a bewitching land where even the best of their hearts could betray them. Yet, Richard fears nothing so much as what secrets his sword might reveal about his own soul. Falling in love would destroy them--for reasons Richard can't imagine and Kahlan dare not say. In their darkest hour, hunted relentlessly, tormented by treachery and loss, Kahlan calls upon Richard to reach beyond his sword--to invoke within himself something more noble. Neither knows that the rules of battle have just changed . . . or that their time has run out. This is the beginning. One book. One Rule. Witness the birth of a legend.
Book 2: Stone of Tears An Epic of Awesome Power
Kahlan has at last gained the one goal she had always thought was beyond her grasp ... love. Against all odds, the ancient bonds of secret oaths, and the dark talents of men long dead, Richard has won her heart.
Amid sudden and disastrous events, Richard's life is called due to satisfy those treacherous oaths. To save his life, Kahlan must forsake Richard's love and cast him into the chains of slavery, knowing there could be no sin worse than such a betrayal.
Richard is determined to unlock the secrets bound in the magic of ancient oaths and to again be free. Kahlan, alone with the terrible truth of what she has done, must set about altering the course of a world thrown into war. But even that may be easier than ever winning back the heart of the only man she will ever love.
Book 3: Blood of the Fold An Epic of Two Worlds
In a world as rich and real as our own, Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell stand against the ancient forces which besiege the New World-- forces so terrible that when last they threatened, they could only be withstood by sealing off the Old World from whence they came. Now the barrier has been breached, and the New World is again beset by their evil power.
War and treachery plague the world, and only Richard and Kahlan can save it from an armageddon of unimaginable savagery and destruction.
Terry Goodkind, author of the brilliant bestsellers Wizard's First Rule and Stone of Tears, has created his most masterful epic yet, a sumptuous feast of magic and excitement replete with the wonders of his unique fantasy vision.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Great series so far.
I'm reading through the second book now, Stone of Tears, and am finding it quite imaginative. I was a little disappointed when I got the box set because it didn't match the picture Amazon provided (all the books are mostly black with a pretty subdued illustration on the cover) but I didn't buy the books for their covers; I bought them for their content. I'm completely satisfied.
Rating: - Wow
Wonderful series, can't say enough about Terry Goodkind's books. Towards the middle of the series his main character gets too preachy.... I mean pages of the stuff. I'd just skip over it and get to the good stuff. The last book didn't contain all of that, so that was a big plus.
I've let several people borrow these books and they were all different ages, and all of them have liked them. I have never met someone who didn't like them.
Rating: - The beginning sounds just like Eragon
Am I the only person that sees a lot of similarities with the beginning of this story and the beginning of Eragon?
Rating: - Avoid this series
if I can save just one person from falling into the pit of reading this series, I have done my duty to society.
Save yourself from a hard fall.
The ending, 'Confessor', most awful ending I ever read in my life!
And worse, bad writing!!!
And worse because many of his books in this series were so awesome.
I really loved most of his books.But...I just read finished the last book last night.I got it from the library. I'm thanking God I didn't buy it.When I got it from the library, I noticed the spine was all broken and torn. I was intending to fix it...but now I realize it must have been because the last reader threw it against the wall.
I was tempted to as well, but didn't.
It was as monotonous and amateurish. Where the heck was his editor??
I should have listened and not read the book and just made up my own ending.
The one thing I think I hated the most was the way he ended it the whole boring slog.... It was COMPLETELY obnoxious.
His theme in most of the books was to protesting religious zealotry. Those in the Order where following some misguided notion that they were killing in the name of the creator and lived under very communistic conditions.
As I read Confessor the preaching and reminding got so irritating I ended up simply skipping pages and pages of 'reminders'.
Through out the series there seemed to be an acknowledged basic natural(and good) desire to connect with the Creator and the spiritual ... Read More
Rating: - Great!
