About this listen
The masterpiece that started Terry Goodkind's New York Times bestselling epic Sword of Truth
In the aftermath of the brutal murder of his father, a mysterious woman, Kahlan Amnell, appears in Richard Cypher's forest sanctuary seeking help...and more. His world, his very beliefs, are shattered when ancient debts come due with thundering violence.
In a dark age it takes courage to live, and more than mere courage to challenge those who hold dominion, Richard and Kahlan must take up that challenge or become the next victims. Beyond awaits a bewitching land where even the best of their hearts could betray them. Yet, Richard fears nothing so much as what secrets his sword might reveal about his own soul. Falling in love would destroy them - for reasons Richard can't imagine and Kahlan dare not say.
In their darkest hour, hunted relentlessly, tormented by treachery and loss, Kahlan calls upon Richard to reach beyond his sword - to invoke within himself something more noble. Neither knows that the rules of battle have just changed...or that their time has run out.
Wizard's First Rule is the beginning. One book. One Rule. Witness the birth of a legend.

Brilliant!
Loved it even more than the first time I read the book. The narrators range of voice and tone was great and really added to the depth of the story.

Amazing Story, Meh Performance
As an avid fan of the series for years I was very excited to be able to have this wonderful story at my side at all times. Yet I find that I struggle to get use to the performance. Sam Tsoutsouvas does a marvellous job as Zedd, yet I find his performance for everyone else grating and hard to get through especially when it comes to Richard (the main character) as Tsoutsouvas's voice just feels to old and wispy for a character like Richard.
If they ever do a dramatised version of the book hire Sam to do Zedd but keep him away from the rest.

Very impressed
The narrator sounds like Robert Stack, bonus! Goodkind drones a bit, but definitely worth it.

Sensational read
One of the best fantasy epics I have read in 40years. Great characters, a well developed story and great plot twists. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
