Richard Rahl has to find a place that no one has heard of before and must destroy the plague, but in the end it will destroy him. This book is very suspensful with the things Richard and Kahlan must do to save everyone and it gives a taste of what Richard is capable of doing with his gift. As with all of Goodkind's books, this book is a great book for fantasy lovers. This is the fourth book in the Sword of Truth series, and it had the double whammy challenge of being the fourth very long book in a very long series, and of being the book I was reading just before my comprehensive exams for grad school. These challenges made me move through this book a little more slowly than the previous three, and the beginning was a bit more slow moving than I would have liked, so it took me a bit longer to read than I expected. Nevertheless, The last 200 pages or so absolutely flew by. I read them in a matter of a few hours, sacrificing some precious precious sleep on the night before comps to finish it. Again, Terry Goodkind messed with my mind and made me despair that things would turn out the way I wanted them to, or thought they should. But, as always, he managed to give me the ending I wanted in an unexpected way and with the promise of lots of new conflict and heartache to come. I swear I don't know why I like these books. They just stress me out! If only I could stop... Richard and Kahlan are at it again in this sequel. Trying to find time to get married is hard when you have a witch woman sending would be lovers to your soon to be spouse, a plague starting, and a dream walker making a nuisance of himself. Full of mystery, magic, betrayal, and love, Temple of Winds delivers what Goodkind fans have come to expect. A read that will keep you reading until the end. Fourth in the "Sword of Truth" series, and by many accounts the best of the lot. This one introduces us to Drefan Rahl, Richard's half-brother, and lets us see what happens to the world when Emperor Jagang attempts to unleash a plague. Nathan has a much bigger role in this one than he has in the last two, and every word is a joy. Oh, Nathan! There's also quite a bit of Cara, Berdine, and Raina, the Mord-Sith, which is very welcome. 0.071 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review

Wielding the Sword of Truth, Richard Rahl has battled death itself and come to the defense of the D'Haran people.

To quench the inferno, he must seek remedy in the wind... To fight it Richard and his beloved Kahlan Amnell will risk everything to uncover the source of the terrible plague-the magic sealed away for three millennia in the Temple of the Winds. Lightning will find him on that path... But when prophecy throws the shadow of betrayal across their mission and threatens to destroy them, Richard must accept the Truth and find a way to pay the price the winds demand...or he and his world will perish.
