With brand-new art and handsome new packaging, Naked Empire, the eighth book in Terry Goodkind's fabulously popular Sword of Truth series, is now available in a new trade paperback edition.

Richard Rahl has been poisoned. Saving an empire from annihilation is the price of the antidote. With the shadow of death looming near, the empire crumbling before the invading hordes, and time running out, Richard is offered not only his own life but the salvation of a people, in exchange for delivering his wife, Kahlan, into bondage to the enemy.

About the Author

Terry Goodkind (1948-2020) was a #1 New York Times bestselling author. His books include the multi-volume epic fantasy Sword of Truth series—beginning with Wizard’s First Rule—and related series Richard and Kahlan and The Nicci Chronicles.

Goodkind was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, where he also attended art school. Alongside a career in wildlife art, he was also a cabinetmaker and a violin maker, and did restoration work on rare and exotic artifacts from around the world. In the 1990s he relocated to Nevada, where, when not writing novels, he was a racing-car enthusiast.

Praise for Naked Empire: Book Eight of The Sword of Truth

Praise for Wizard's First Rule:

"This is a phenomenal fantasy, endlessly inventive, that surely marks the commencement of one of the major careers in the genre. It has three things I find rare in combination: an interesting, lucid narrative; almost unremitting development and action; and some genuinely original and thoughtful aspects. Wizard's First Rule may be Terry Goodkind's first novel; his career is nevertheless already impressive." —Piers Anthony

"A wonderfully creative, seamless, and stirring epic fantasy debut." —Kirkus Reviews

"Goodkind choreographs an intricate duality in which the dividing line between good and evil is often turned upside down." —RT Book Reviews

"Makes an indelible impact." —Publishers Weekly

“Outstanding… Highly recommended.” —San Diego Union Tribune
