Read this book after finishing Naked Empire on the kindle. For some reason the kindle version was bad so I bought the paperback from Half Priced Books.

BY THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES
BESTSELLING AUTHOR

After being gravely injured in battle, Richard awakes to discover Kahlan missing. To his disbelief, no one remembers the woman he is frantically trying to find. Worse, no one believes that she really exists, or that he was ever married.

Alone as never before, he must find the woman he loves more than life itself... if she is even still alive. If she was ever even real.

"MR. GOODKIND'S COMPELLING PROSE WEAVES A MAGIC SPELL OVER READERS."

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.

Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.

When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.

When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.

Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
