   Le Terre d'Occidente sono in pericolo: i confini magici con le Terre di Mezzo, eretti da un grande arcimago a difesa della civiltà contro i poteri del male, stanno pian piano crollando. Esseri mostruosi provenienti dagli altri Regni compaiono all'improvviso nella foreste delle Terre d'Occidente. E assieme a questi strani animali ecco comparire anche Kahlan Amnell, una fanciulla dotata di misteriosi poteri e inseguita da quattro agguerriti assassini. Richard Cypher, giovane tagliaboschi che ha da poco perso il padre, Primo Consigliere delle Terre d'Occidente, ucciso anche lui in maniera molto misteriosa, interviene coraggiosamente in aiuto della ragazza e con lei si mette alla ricerca del grande mago che aveva un tempo creato i magici confini: è lui l'unico baluardo rimasto a contrastare il potere di Darken Rahl, il mago maligno che si propone di conquistare i tre Regni. Un eccezionale debutto nel campo della fantasy: un ciclo epico e affascinante, meravigliosamente nuovo e creativo, che ha già riscosso uno strepitoso successo in tutto il mondo.

    La guerra è terminata. Il mondo della vita ha finalmente prevalso. Richard, Kahlan e i loro amici sono riusciti a riportare la pace in tutto l’Impero D’Hariano. Nell’aria si respira trepidazione per ciò che il futuro ha in serbo, eppure, sempre più persone vengono visitate da visioni inquietanti e manifestano un interesse fuori dal comune per la profezia e i suoi oscuri segreti. Quando l’occasione festosa del matrimonio di Cara e Benjamin viene rovinata da orrendi delitti e predizioni di morte, appare chiaro che una nuova minaccia si sta facendo strada... Le premonizioni improvvise e accurate, e le presenze misteriose che seguono da vicino Richard e Kahlan, sembrano legate alla scoperta di una strana macchina dei presagi nel cuore del Palazzo del Popolo, che agisce attraverso dei simboli impressi su lamine di metallo. E quando Kahlan scompare improvvisamente sotto l’effetto di un incantesimo, e le perplessità dei rappresentanti dell’Impero sfociano in subdoli giochi di potere, il momento di intervenire è arrivato... ma quale sarà il prezzo da pagare?
