Part of Richard and Kahlan
First published 2011
Hannis Arc studies the ancient Cerulean scroll in his tower chamber, working to decode the constellation patterns that form Creation's fundamental language. Seven ghostly entities drift into his room like toxic smoke, moving past his collection of mounted creatures and prophecy books. These beings need no doors or windows to enter. They slip through cracks like morning mist from dead marshlands. Arc keeps his shutters open as a bold statement that he fears nothing, not even these supernatural visitors. His work with the tapestry of elemental lines continues despite their presence. Meanwhile, Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell face a dangerous new enemy that threatens their world. This story marks both the conclusion of one saga and the beginning of fresh adventures for the legendary couple.
