From #1 New York Times bestselling author Terry Goodkind comes The First Confessor, the prequel to the Sword of Truth series. In a time before legends had yet been born.... Married to the powerful leader of her people, safe among those gifted with great ability, Magda Searus is protected from a distant world descending into war. But when her husband, a man who loved life and loved her, unexpectedly commits suicide, she suddenly finds herself alone. Because she is ungifted herself, without her husband she no longer has standing among her people, and she finds herself isolated in a society that seems to be crumbling around her. Despite her grief, she is driven to find the reasons behind why her husband would do such a thing--why he would abandon her and her people at such a profoundly dangerous time. Though she is not gifted, she begins to discover that there may be more to her husband's suicide than anyone knew. What she finds next, no one is willing to believe. Without anyone to help her, she knows that she must embark on a mission to find a mysterious spiritist, if she even exists, so that she may speak with the dead. This quest may also be her last chance to unravel what is really behind the mysterious events befalling her people. What she discovers along the way is that the war is going far worse than she had known, and that the consequences of defeat will be more terrifying for her and her people than she could have imagined. As mortal peril begins to close in around her, Magda learns that she is somehow the key to her people's salvation. Journey with Magda Searus into her dark world, and learn how true legends are born.… (altro)

Voor Rob Anderson, een van mijn beste vrienden, wiens steun en aanmoediging enorm belangrijk zijn geweest om dit boek mogelijk te maken. Hij is niet alleen een van de intelligentste mensen die ik ooit heb ontmoet, hij is ook een integere, goudeerlijke en grenzeloos enthousiaste man. Met zijn grote talent heeft hij mijn woorden voorzien van schitterende beelden en een prachtige sociale omgeving voor liefhebbers van mijn boeken en bezoekers. Met zijn grote waardering voor mijn werk alsmede mijn lezers, blijft hij achter de schermen onvermoeibaar doorwerken en maakt mooie dingen die mensen dichter bij mij en de boeken brengen dan ooit eerder mogelijke was. We staan allemaal bij hem in het krijt. Dit boek is voor jou, Rob.
