Publisher's summary

Terry Goodkind, author of the enormously popular Sword of Truth novels, has forged perhaps his best yet, pitting Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell against threats to the freedom of the world. They both must struggle at opposite ends of the earth against the relentless, monolithic forces of the Imperial Order.

A Sister of the Dark captures Richard and takes him deep into the Old World, to the very heart of the Order, while his beloved Kahlan remains behind. Free because of Richard's sacrifice for her, but unwilling to abandon the cause of the Midlands, Kahlan violates not only prophecy but her last pledge to Richard, and raises an army against the advancing horde of the Imperial Order. Separated and fighting for their lives, Richard and Kahlan will be pushed to the limits of their endurance and tested in their love for one another.

Once again, the master storyteller weaves a riveting spell that will captivate even more fans for this incredible series.

Epic edge: listen to more in the Sword of Truth series.

Critic reviews

"Notable for its engaging secondary characters, the novel also evinces flashes of sly wit....Goodkind's ingenious world-building will keep readers captivated." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Kenneth's narration follows the intensity of the plot through battles and hardship, as well as dreams of love and caring human relationships. With Kenneth as guide, this book never lags." ( AudioFile)

the Imperial Order....

if we don't see parallels in this Country to the story in this volume. we are blind. I'm sad that you have to go six volumes deep to hear the truth about Progressivism..... Socialism.... Communism.... to have it laid out plainly in a form that is interesting and keeps your attention. as our Country sinks in to Progressive Marxism I hope we understand the message in Faith of the Fallen. that Freedom , Liberty or Slavery are choices we each make in how we live our lives.

My absolute favorite book!

I love this book. The messages in this story I find in the story emboldening and some to take to heart.

good book

his book would not have been needed if Richard's grandfather had not split the new world with barriers. a good story on how "when you have nothing to lose" inspiration can ignite a true storm of change. the narrator brought the characters to life.

the best of the SOT series so far!

Richard and his love kahlyn finally get a moment of respite from the harsh existence they have inherited, the book has powerful and beautiful tones on the meaning of art and freedom. great read.

Robert Jordan and Ayn Rand - would be proud

What did you like best about this story?

Its comparisons to Atlas Shrugged

Which character – as performed by John Kenneth – was your favorite?

Kara - love her " lets get it on" fighting style.

ignore the haters

Ignore the haters. This book had a very fitting ending that I entirely did not expect in the beginning. I was surprised how everything in the beginning led up to it. Wonderful story and narration.

one of the best in the series

This series is one of my favorites, this is one of my favorites in the series. Zed's voice seemed too old for me, but voice acting was wonderful regardless.

Fantastic resurgence

In my opinion the first three books in this series are magnificent. I think it stumbles a bit with Temple of the Winds — which feels a bit like an unplanned continuation. Faith of the Fallen, though, is a work of art.

A magnificent story!

Faith of the Fallen has gone beyond just regular storytelling. Anyone should be able to relate to the lifelong wisdom given in this epic tale.
