Temple Of The Winds

A stunningly inventive breakthrough novel that takes the fantasy genre into a new dimension.

This fourth novel in the SWORD OF TRUTH sequence takes the series on to much darker ground without losing any of its powerful magic and mystery or any of its gripping storytelling quality.

Terrific storytelling from the man acclaimed by the great Marrion Zimmer Bradley as the next Tolkien. Fantasy aimed squarely at the adult market - complex plotting and sophisticated characterisation make these novels unputdownable. "A real born storyteller is a gift and Terry Goodkind is one of the good kind" Anne McCaffrey. One of the top two bestselling fantasy authors in the world

Temple of the Winds, the fourth installment in Terry Goodkind's epic Sword of Truth series, continues to captivate readers with its unique blend of dark themes, powerful magic, and gripping storytelling.

In this breathtaking tale, a sinister disease known as the plague is unleashed, ravaging the populations of the Midlands. Richard and Kahlan must navigate treacherous political landscapes, ancient prophecies, and their own inner demons to uncover the secrets of the Temple of the Winds, a mystical place shrouded in legend and danger. Their journey takes them to the brink of despair, testing their bond and their resolve in ways they never imagined.

As they tread darker paths, the balance of power and the nature of true evil are explored with unflinching precision.

Filled with unexpected twists, intense action, and intricate world-building, Temple of the Winds elevates the Sword of Truth series to new heights. It is a must-read for fantasy enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in a saga where the fight for good is as tumultuous as it is heroic.

Experience the magic, the danger, and the relentless quest for truth in Terry Goodkind's Temple of the Winds, where the boundaries between light and dark, love and sacrifice, are tested as never before.
