The story follows Richard Cypher, who has lived a sheltered life in one such part of the world. The First Wizard, Zeddicus, uses magic to cut parts of the world off from each other to prevent Darken Rahl from taken over. Thee millennia later, one of the remaining wizards, Darken Rahl, tries to take over the world. Only a remnant of their ancient bloodlines remains. The wizards controlled mighty magics, warred, then died out.
What is the story aboutģ,000 years before the Sword of Truth series, a terrible war between wizards ravaged the world. I mentioned the books last week, and elsewhere, so about time for an analysis. When I read the first book of the Sword of Truth series, over twenty years ago, I thought it was great.
