Now, in Chainfire, Goodkind returns with a novel of Richard and Kahlan, the beginning of a sequence of three novels that will bring their epic story to its culmination.
After being gravely injured in battle, Richard awakes to discover Kahlan missing. To his disbelief, no one remembers the woman he is frantically trying to find. Worse, no one believes that she really exists, or that he was ever married. Alone as never before, he must find the woman he loves more than life itself....if she is even still alive. If she was ever even real.

"Amazing book! Incredible detail, makes you want to enter their world! I literally carried it around with me so any free minute was spent reading it! This book has been especially hard to read because I love the love between Richard and Kahlan and what they go through in this book is so sad."
— Jenn (5 out of 5 stars)
" I love this series and am always excited for the next one. This was a good one, great quality recording. "
— Bridget, 10/3/2017" Really really liked this and it was refreshing to have Richard and Kahlan separated in this manner. Very intense plot and great action sequences and quite a page turner near the end. "
— Stacie, 2/11/2014" All Terry Goodkind's books are great if you like that genre of fiction. I do :) "
— Shari, 2/9/2014" This series should have ended with this book but instead it has picked up as a start to a trilogy. There were a couple hundred pages of wasted text in this book. In the end the book had some interesting ideas in it and some of the characters are still very interesting. However, why is it the characters have forgotten about this that have happened in the series that I have not? "
— Chenoa, 2/3/2014" So this book was better than the last. There was some repeating as is Goodkind's MO. Again, there is no rule that you have to read every single word on a page. I always skim the redundent stuff, sometimes I skip the detailed scenery, especially if we have already had a description of where ever he is describing.. I'm not going to go into the story because it is an older book and there are plenty of reviews out there that do. I basically just wanted to rate it. I think I have two more books left in this series... just need to power through it. "
— Katie, 1/22/2014" I like the twist of this story arc. Really big change from previous volumes, makes it more interesting than the past 3. "
— Nai, 1/15/2014" An amazing book in an amazing series. Politics, love, hate, magic, trust, confusion, betrayal, and more. "
— Kallie, 1/7/2014" Uber-depressing, but worth it after it all "
— Thomas, 1/5/2014" 100 or so pages of what has gone before, 2 pages to describe every little detail of every event, and 665 pages later the only thing that has really happened is they decide they ought to do something about what happened on the first page. "
— George, 12/31/2013" One of my favourite books! "
— Tori, 12/20/2013" Not a bad story but I was VERY disappointed with the ending and determined that there must be a sequel to this for the way it was left! Alot of detail which in some places was very interesting, and in others made me feel wayed down. "
— LisaMarie, 12/9/2013" I find plots like this extremely frustrating. I couldn't get through this book fast enough. Finally at the very very end it got to the good part - like the last 25 pages maybe. "
— Joan, 12/9/2013" Een bizarre plotwending. Je wilt dat ketenvuur helemaal niet, ik heb elke bladzijde zitten wensen dat het ophield. "
— Marjolein, 11/9/2013" The series picks up and returns to its fun action roots with these last three books. The grand speeches are toned down and we're back to quick moving plot. "
— Lara, 4/19/2013" This really kept me on the edge of my seat with frustration because it wraps you up so much. "
— Leslie, 3/27/2013" Oh the feels 3 "
— Samantha, 2/10/2013" Every book in the series gets worse and worse. I will see it through, but only because I'm not a quitter. "
— Rsoeffker, 7/21/2012" Goodkind's anti-faith rhetoric tripped me up a bit as I was reading this, but it was still a good mystery story. "
— Douglas, 7/6/2012" I actually skipped a few pages here and there because it seemed to just go on and on and on and on about the same topic. But, it got really awesome towards the end. "
— Miranda, 7/3/2012" The start to the epic trilogy ending for the sword of truth series really good twist for the series where once again Richard must redefine his love for Kahlan "
— Brian, 4/28/2012" The last 3 books center around Khalan being forgotten by all. I truly can't remember the details - <br/>I'm writing these reviews 2 years after reading.... <br/>I just remember being very frustrated "
— Carol, 5/19/2011" Great book. The adventure never stopped. A little preachy on ideology but never the less a great book! Purchased the next to on my e- reader. "
— Linda, 5/17/2011" I must say that I stick with this series because I do enjoy Terry Goodkind's books, however this one I did find myself skimming over a few repetitive parts and also felt that there was sometimes side-stories or what have you put in specifically to make the book longer. "
— Kelsey, 5/6/2011" The sisters of the dark reappear in this one. I still enjoy this series very much but, I think I'm going to take a break from it for a while. Maybe I'll be as excited as I was at first. Or the books could be not moving fast enough and need some new a f "
— Jake, 5/6/2011" The length of his series allows the author to take a reader on a wandering tale. This was a significant piece of the series. Enjoyed it immensely. "
— Julie, 4/25/2011" plod, plod, zoom. Needed better editing "
— Helen, 3/31/2011" (Tom)<br/><br/>Good vs Evil Life vs Death<br/>Richard(Wizard in training) and Kahlan(Mother Confessor) save THEIR world. "
— Toni, 3/29/2011" Really missed my favorite character in this one! "
— Bonnie, 3/10/2011" Only three stars cause I put in the time to read the whole thing and had no resolution. "
— Matt, 3/9/2011" I read it. <br/>It was mostly annoying. Half the book is about the world having forgotten somebody that was in the series from book 1. And, again, Terry Goodkind is way too heavy handed. It's really annoying. "
— Joe, 3/7/2011" captivating and only twice as long as it needed to be. "
— matejcik, 2/20/2011" This one did not get good reviews, but I think it was one of my faves... I loved the complicated plot. I came to love Cara and Nicci in a way I couldn't have had Kahlan been in the story. "
