Naked Empire - Tapa blanda

Acerca del autor

Goodkind was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, where he also attended art school, one of his many interests on the way to becoming a writer. Besides a career in wildlife art, he has been a cabinet maker, violin maker, and he has done restoration work on rare and exotic artifacts from around the world — each with its own story to tell, he says. In 1983 Goodkind moved to the forested mountains he loves. There, in the woods near the ocean, he built the house where he and his wife, Jeri, live, and came at last to tell his own stories.

De la contraportada

From the internationally bestselling author of Wizard's First Rule

Acclaimed storyteller, Terry Goodkind, delivers another extraordinary novel set in a richly realized world alive with all the complexity and taut characterization we've come to expect from this master of fantasy.

Richard has been poisoned. Saving an empire from annihilation is the price demanded for the antidote. With the shadow of death looming near, the empire crumbling before the invading hordes and time running out, Richard is offered not only his life, but the salvation of a people, in exchange for delivering his wife, Kahlan, into bondage to the enemy.

With the stakes higher than life and death, Richard and Kahlan face possibly the most devastating choice they will ever have to make.

The Naked Empire is a truly spellbinding tale which explores the strength of the human spirit and the sacrifices made for love.
