This prequel to Goodkind's Sword of Truth series features Magda Searus, widow of First Wizard Barracus. Magda senses something isn't right about her husband's death. Her investigation leads her to a dark conspiracy, a threat to the Wizard's Keep and to the very fabric of life itself. The undead play a role in this captivating tale. I enjoyed reading how Magda became the first Confessor and how the Sword of Truth was created. It's a true origin story and Goodkind's initial venture into digital first publishing. I love his writing and can't wait for the next installment in his fantasy world, whether it's another prequel or a sequel. His exquisite attention to detail and to character depth and the fast-paced action will pull you into the story, and you won't want it to end.
