The setting is clear from the first page of the book. A fantastic world: everything, no matter how small isn't overlooked and everything hides magic. Richard, a humble woods guide is immediately confronted with magic when he meets Khalan. In dire need of help they both seek Richard's grandfather, the wizard Zedd. The east of Richard's beloved home, Heartland Woods, is under great peril. The eastern cities are falling and being over-run, by a tryant who seeks control through great magical means. Swept up in a current of wonderous places and abysmal creatures, Richard is nigh forced to the eastern palaces to topple the dictator, Darkened Raul, from seizing control of all the lands.
This book contains heavy adult themes: death, blood, gore, sex. Although I found this book and series "The Sword of Truth" novels to be hands down the best book I've read, I don't recommend it to the weak of heart or mind, as it is VERY graphic.
Rating: 5Q, 4P
