Chainfire —
Chainfire by Terry Goodkind is the 1st book in the Chainfire trilogy (the last 3 books of the Sword of Truth series). Richard, after having been healed by Nicci from an almost mortal arrow wound, wakes to find Kahlan missing. Not only is she missing, but noone even knows that she ever existed. People start believing Richard is going crazy because he is the only one that remembers Kahlan. So begins Richards desperate search to find out where Kahlan is and what is going on. In the meantime, Jagang is separating his army forces and sending the main force south and around the mountains to come up to D'Hara. The D'Haran forces need to prepare for a big final battle but where is Richard? Prophesy foretells that Richard must lead in the final battle but he is busy chasing phantoms. To add to the mix, Jagang has unleashed a terrible underworld beast that is chasing Richard. It hones in on him when he uses his gift and never attacks in the same way twice.
Terry Brooks books characters are so real you would think you know them personally. You love each and every one of them and find yourself unable to put the books down because you have to find out what will happen next. The only complaint I have about the books is that Terry Brooks tends to get too wordy at times. I find myself skimming over some areas like that. I tend to get bored with books in long series and never usually read the last books. But this series has not gotten old. Each book is new and fresh.
