Stone of Tears

In denying his heritage Richard Cypher, grandson of the last true Wizard, accidentally ignores the Wizard's Second Rule... and it may be his undoing and the land's.
Only one person holds the power to make Richard accept that he has become the very thing he hates - Kahlan Amnell, the MOther Cofessor, and a creature of magic hersef. But when Richard's magic begins to spiral out of control and threatens to kill him, a mysterious magical order called the Sisters of the Light arrive to help him - or so they say. But the order is divided and, separated from Richard, Kahlan must act to save her people, her world - and Richard himself - from the Keeper of the Underworld... she must sacrifice everything she holds dear and begin a war she knows can only end in death.
Join the light - and enter a world where the creatures of nightmare will find you by the movement of a shallow breath and waking dreams will decide your soul's fate... where magic is both a boon and a bane to those who use it, and to those who merely feel its touch.
