A television series adaptation of the novels, titled Legend of the Seeker, produced by ABC Studios and broadcast via syndication, first aired on November 1, 2008. As of 2008, 25 million copies of the series' books have been sold worldwide, and the series has been translated into more than 20 languages. The latest novel in the series, Heart of Black Ice, was released in 2020. The series began in 1994 with Wizard's First Rule and Goodkind wrote eighteen more novels in addition to a novella titled Debt of Bones. While each novel was written to stand alone, except for the final three that were intended to be a trilogy, they follow a common timeline and are linked by ongoing events that occur throughout the series. The books follow the protagonists Richard Cypher, Kahlan Amnell, Nicci, Cara, and Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander on their quest to defeat oppressors who seek to control the world and those who wish to unleash evil upon the world of the living.
The Sword of Truth is a series of twenty-two epic fantasy novels written by Terry Goodkind. He had a presence, and he inspired millions.Print ( hardcover and paperback), Audiobook Whether you liked Terry Goodkind or not, there was no one else quite like him. But as I sit here writing this with my battered copy of Wizard’s First Rule beside me, I can’t help but feel that fantasy has lost one of its giants. Perhaps it’s that his death occurred almost 13 years to the day from when The Wheel of Time creator Robert Jordan passed away in 2007. Perhaps it’s that Goodkind was one of my personal gateways to falling in love with long-running epic fantasy series. Though he had dyslexia, he didn’t let that stop him from writing one of the longest and best-selling fantasy series of all time. Still, it’s impossible to deny that Terry Goodkind had a talent for telling enthralling tales, and that he exercised it to the absolute best of his ability. His novels could have heavy-handed thematic issues, like the infamous “pacifism is bad” plotline from Naked Empire. He had a reputation for being a grouch with fans and colleagues alike - and he knew it. Goodkind’s stories served as a gateway for millions of readers into the genre, although he was a polarizing presence in the fantasy community itself. I want to introduce everyone to THE CHILDREN OF D’HARA, a new series that continues the story of the lives of Richard and Kahlan. The final book of that series, Into Darkness, was published only three months ago in June of 2020. His latest series of novellas, The Children of D’hara, picked up where The Sword of Truth left off. If there’s one thing to be said for Terry Goodkind, it’s that he was incredibly prolific. Oh, and there were five more contemporary thriller novels that Goodkind somehow managed to fit in between all those other books. The Sword of Truth became a 17-volume series, finally concluding in 2015 with Warheart. Then there was the four-book spin-off The Nicci Chronicles, which followed two of The Sword of Truth‘s most beloved supporting characters on their own world-spanning quest. Despite the original announcement that Sword of Truth would end in the novel Confessor (2007), he came back and wrote more books. #SwordofTruth #LegendoftheSeeker /alDLOrlnlfīut Goodkind never could stay away from the tale of Richard and Kahlan. Thank you for creating Richard and Kahlan. After that, Goodkind wrote the first of his contemporary thrillers, The Law of Nines (2009), a work that retains some ties to The Sword of Truth universe but in a modern setting. After having successful careers as both a woodworker and artist, he made the switch to writing with his 1994 debut novel Wizard’s First Rule. The original Sword of Truth saga that began in that volume, which followed the adventures of Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell as they sought to overthrow powerful magical dictators and usher in a new age for their war-torn people, spanned 11 door-stopping tomes. Goodkind had a career every bit as long and epic as the tales he strove to tell. Yesterday, Terry Goodkind, author of The Sword of Truth epic fantasy series as well as a mountain of other related works, passed away.
