Terry Goodkind is developing into a good writer. His story telling ability improves with each book. His characters are believable and like able. Magda Searus is a hero we can all relate too. Would not be a bad idea to have a Magda Searus/ Merritt series. It shows lots of potential. I know I would read future installments .The story goes back to the first war between the New World and the Old world. Certain thems tend to repeat themselves like Emperor Sakuxgas conquering both world attempting to wipe out magic. Of course he wants to control the magic not wipe it out . Magda Searus is First Wizard Barracus's wife. Magdas life goes into a tail spin when Barracas kills himself. Lothain the head prosecutor persecuted Magda with several false accusation. This phase of the war introduces the dream walkers and Alric Rahl's verse of protection. Not only has the Old World created  dream walker but also half people and dead people that fight . The half people have lost their souls and will eat other people in an attempt to get a soul. Sounds a bit like the current zombie craze. The Wizards Keep has been penetrated and compromised . The new world creates two new weapons to fight back. Confessors and the sword of truth. The sword of truth is used to find the boxes of prden. Will the Confessir route out the enemies? Read the book and find out,
