Legend of the Seeker

Kahlan is the Mother Confessor, leader of an ancient order of magical women. She has the power to make anyone she touches tell the truth, but whoever Kahlan "confesses" also loses their free will and is compelled to love and obey her for as long as they live. Kahlan risked everything to find Richard Cypher. What she didn't expect was to fall in love with him. But her powers keep them from ever being together. Despite their dilemma, Kahlan helped Richard defeat Darken Rahl, the tyrant who was so close to becoming ruler of the three territories.

Kahlan hopes very much that she and Richard can someday find a way to express their undying love for each other. But first, she faces a greater threat that threatens to destroy them all - the Keeper of the Underworld. Darken Rahl's defeat has opened a rift to this land of the dead, and the Keeper is preparing to wage war on the world of the living. Only the Stone of Tears can seal the Keeper and his evil minions in the nether region. Only the Seeker can find the Stone. And Kahlan's greatest duty as Mother Confessor is to protect the Seeker.
