This was a BOTM read. It is the prequel to his Sword of Truth series that the TV show The Legend of the Seeker was based on. In this book we first are introduced to the Character of Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander and the Rahl of D'Hara. There is a war in the Land, the D'Harans are trying to take over the world with the use of some very dark magic. We meet Abigail (Abby) she is coming the request Zeddicus, a Wizard of the First Order help her to save her daughter Jana from the D'Harans. Abby calls in a debt of bones, in order to force Zeddicus to help her. In doing so, she sets into motion the events that lead to the end of the war with D'Hara and the boundaries being created separating the land into three parts, the Westlands (no magic), the Midlands (magical) and D'Hara (magical).
This was a short book, only 160 pages. I liked it, it was quick and gave a taste of the story to come. This was a second reading for me, the first time I read the series I read it first too. I think the questions left me wanting to start the first book quicker so I could get them answered. It whetted my curiosity.
