Summary

While Bishop Hannis Arc and the ancient Emperor Sulachan lead a vast horde of half people and undead into the heart of D'Hara, Richard and Kahlan must find a way to cure themselves from Jit's stain of death. Richard finds a message for him sent across time by the Magda Searus and Meritt. Eventually, in the unfolding of predestined events, Kahlan is killed and Richard gives up his own soul to try to get Kahlan back into the world of life.
