Richard feels that this woman is in need of protection and takes her to the only man he can trust, his best friend and mentor, Zedd.
Richard is naturally compelled to investigate the mysterious murder of his father, George Cypher, when he happens upon a woman named Kahlan Amnell, whom he helps keep alive as she is being hunted by a group of four men known as a quad.Īfter saving Kahlan’s life, it is revealed that Kahlan has somehow come through the boundary and is now searching for the First Wizard, who is rumored to have crossed into Westland after the creation of the boundaries. Richard works as a woods guide leading important political figures and travelers through dangerous forests, while his brother's interests lie entirely in politics. On the other side of the boundary lie many sovereign nations, jointly known as the Midlands, and the empire of D'Hara. Westland is separated from the other lands by a dangerous magical boundary that prevents anyone without powerful magic from passing through it. Richard lives in an area of the world known as Westland, which is the only part of the world that at the time contained no magic. Witness the birth of a legend.The primary protagonist in Wizard’s First Rule is Richard Cypher, a young woods guide. Neither knows that the rules of battle have just changed. In their darkest hour, hunted relentlessly, tormented by treachery and loss, Kahlan calls upon Richard to reach beyond his sword-to invoke within himself something more noble.
Falling in love would destroy them-for reasons Richard can't imagine and Kahlan dare not say. Yet, Richard fears nothing so much as what secrets his sword might reveal about his own soul. Beyond awaits a bewitching land where even the best of their hearts could betray them. In a dark age it takes courage to live, and more than mere courage to challenge those who hold dominion, Richard and Kahlan must take up that challenge or become the next victims. His world, his very beliefs, are shattered when ancient debts come due with thundering violence. In the aftermath of the brutal murder of his father, a mysterious woman, Kahlan Amnell, appears in Richard Cypher's forest sanctuary seeking help.
