Only magic protects D'Hara from the Golden Goddess and her kind. So to take this world, the Goddess must ensure Richard and Kahlan's children are never born...

In a series of novellas, Terry Goodkind returns to his epic New York Times bestselling SWORD OF TRUTH saga.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

'This is not the way I wanted it to be. Any time but now. Even if by a miracle these children are born, their birth will be their death sentence' – Kahlan Amnell.

Only magic protects D'Hara from the Golden Goddess and her kind, the magic of Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell, the magic that the Mother Confessor carries within her womb.

To take this world, the Goddess must ensure Richard and Kahlan's children are never born.

In the dark shadows of the People's Palace, the predators are gathering, watching, learning, feeding...

Hateful Things is the second episode in Terry Goodkind's new serial novel, The Children of D'Hara. Told in irresistibly intense instalments, this is the story of a world confronted by an apocalyptic nightmare.

'I want to introduce everyone to The Children of D'Hara, a new series that continues the story of the lives of Richard and Kahlan. This is a journey that began 25 years ago with the 1994 release of Wizard's First Rule, when Richard first met Kahlan that fateful day in the Hartland woods.

After the Sword of Truth series ended, I knew there was more to Richard and Kahlan's story. Much more. A whole world more. For years, readers have asked me about Richard and Kahlan's lives after the Sword of Truth series... and importantly, about their children.

While my masterwork, Sword of Truth, concluded with Warheart – 20 languages and 26 million books sold – I was burning to tell readers more about Richard and Kahlan. For that reason, this new series starts immediately after the Sword of Truth books ended. Without skipping a beat, readers will plunge back into Richard and Kahlan's lives, with new episodes releasing every three months.

So it is that I want to welcome you all back into the Sword of Truth world with many of the characters besides Richard and Kahlan, such as the Mord-Sith, that we have come to love. Learn what the star shift has done to their world and what monsters now lurk in shadows. I promise an arresting, beautiful, and sometimes tragic adventure that will keep you glued to this irresistible story.'

– Terry Goodkind.
