Richard and Kahlan Books in Order

The last Richard and Kahlan novel opens with Richard lying on his own funeral bier and the D’Haran Empire on the brink of annihilation. Following an inner prompting no one else understands, Kahlan wagers everything on a desperate gamble that could either save their world or end it for good.

Marked by a stain of death that is slowly killing them, Richard and Kahlan race to find a cure even as undead hordes and fanatics push toward the heart of D’Hara. Their search forces them into impossible choices about what they are willing to sacrifice to save their people.

Poisoned by the essence of death and stripped of much of his magic, Richard finds himself and Kahlan stranded in the haunted Dark Lands. Surrounded by cannibals, restless dead, and strange allies, he must uncover a growing conspiracy that reaches back toward the heart of D’Hara.

Soon after a strange boy delivers a chilling warning, common people begin speaking in perfect prophecies and a buried metal contraption awakens beneath the palace. As its omens grow ever darker and more precise, Richard and Kahlan must learn who built the omen machine and how to confront it.
