Married to the powerful leader of her people, safe among those gifted with great ability, Magda Searus is protected from a distant world descending into war. But when her husband, a man who loved life and loved her, unexpectedly commits suicide, she suddenly finds herself alone. Because she is ungifted herself, without her husband she no longer has standing among her people, and she finds herself isolated in a society that seems to be crumbling around her.
Despite her grief, she is driven to find the reasons behind why her husband would do such a thing--why he would abandon her and her people at such a profoundly dangerous time. Though she is not gifted, she begins to discover that there may be more to her husband's suicide than anyone knew. What she finds next, no one is willing to believe.
Without anyone to help her, she knows that she must embark on a mission to find a mysterious spiritist, if she even exists, so that she may speak with the dead. This quest may also be her last chance to unravel what is really behind the mysterious events befalling her people. What she discovers along the way is that the war is going far worse than she had known, and that the consequences of defeat will be more terrifying for her and her people than she could have imagined.
As mortal peril begin to close in around her, Magda learns that she is somehow the key to her people's salvation.
Journey with Magda Searus into her dark world, and learn how true legends are born.

High fantasy storytelling reached millions of readers through expansive multi-volume epic narratives that combined intense drama, intricate magic systems, and philosophical conflicts. Terry Goodkind gained widespread prominence through his long-running fantasy epic The Sword of Truth, which debuted with the 1994 novel Wizard's First Rule. Over twenty-five years, the series grew into a seventeen-book saga that sold more than twenty-six million copies worldwide and was translated into over twenty languages.
Born Terry Lee Goodkind on January 11, 1948, in Omaha, Nebraska, Goodkind spent his early life engaging with creative arts and practical crafts before turning to novel writing. Prior to establishing himself as a full-time author, he worked in a variety of trades, including working as a wildlife artist, cabinetmaker, violin maker, carpenter, hypnotherapist, and restorer of rare artifacts. He also enjoyed painting and walking in the woods with his wife, Jeri. Goodkind spent years harboring a passion for storytelling and character creation before putting his ideas into manuscript form for his first novel in the early 1990s.
The publication of Wizard's First Rule in 1994 launched Goodkind into a full-time writing career, marking the beginning of a massive publishing franchise. Throughout his career, Goodkind produced numerous #1 New York Times bestsellers set in the fantasy world of Richard Cypher and Kahlan Amnell. Goodkind continued writing and publishing major installments in his fantasy universe until his death on September 17, 2020, leaving behind an extensive body of work.
Goodkind's narrative approach stands out for its blend of fast-paced action, complex moral dilemmas, and explicit philosophical underpinnings. His work focuses heavily on themes of individual human rights, personal agency, free will, and the ethical struggles between freedom and tyranny. Goodkind often integrated his personal worldview into the challenges faced by his protagonists, constructing plotlines where magic and rules of conduct serve as tests of individual character and conviction.
