The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo Audiobook Review
The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo Audiobook received generally favorable reviews from critics.
Isabella Biedenharn of Entertainment Weekly gave the book a B+, writing that the book was “full of advice—and not just the tongue-in-cheek kind you might expect from a stand-up comedian” and that it was “much more like a straightforward memoir than even [Schumer] appears to believe”, summing up her review stating that the book was “far less a portable joke factory than it is a real, deep dive into Schumer’s life.
Lincee Ray of the Associated Press said that “readers will laugh and cry, and may put the book down from moments of honesty that result in uncomfortable realistic details from her life.”
“Amy Schumer’s book will make you love her even more. For a comedian of unbridled (and generally hilarious) causticity, Schumer has written a probing, confessional, unguarded, and, yes, majorly humanizing non-memoir, a book that trades less on sarcasm, and more on emotional resonance.” — Vogue

Amy Beth Schumer
It’s easy to see why Schumer’s book is billed as “confessional” – women’s writing often is. It is still the case that when a woman writes or talks candidly, her words are viewed as confessional because of how long women’s voices have been suppressed. But it’s also often the writing women are pushed into – it’s the business model of entire websites. But part of Schumer’s huge success as a comedian – the ratings smash Inside Amy Schumer; hosting MTV awards shows – is how well she skewers double standards. “Confessional” is a very gendered word. Can’t we just call her honest?

About the Author
Let me introduce you to the incredible author behind the magical world of Harry Potter—J.K. Rowling. But did you know that when her first Harry Potter audiobook was published, she went by the name Joanne Rowling? It’s true! The name J.K. Rowling, pronounced like “rolling,” is actually a pen name she adopted for her writing career.
Why did she choose to use initials instead of her full name? Well, it was an interesting decision driven by the anticipation that the target audience of young boys might be hesitant to read a book written by a woman. To address this concern, her publishers insisted on using two initials instead of her given name. Since she didn’t have a middle name, she decided to honor her paternal grandmother Kathleen Ada Bulgen Rowling by selecting “K” as the second initial of her pen name.
Interestingly, J.K. Rowling prefers to be called Jo in her personal life. She once mentioned, “No one ever called me ‘Joanne’ when I was young unless they were angry.” It seems that Jo has always been her preferred name among friends and family.
However, after getting married, Jo has occasionally used the name Joanne Murray for personal matters. It’s not uncommon for individuals to adopt different variations of their names throughout different stages of their lives.
During the Leveson Inquiry, which was a public inquiry into the culture, practices, and ethics of the British press, she provided evidence under the name Joanne Kathleen Rowling. This allowed her to maintain consistency with her legal identity while still being recognized by her fans as the beloved J.K. Rowling.
In a 2012 interview, Rowling expressed that she no longer pays much attention to how people pronounce her name. Over time, she has become indifferent to any mispronunciations or variations. What truly matters is her incredible literary legacy and the enchanting stories she has shared with the world.
So, whether you call her Joanne or J.K. Rowling, one thing remains certain—her extraordinary imagination has transported millions of readers into the magical realm of Harry Potter and beyond.

Despite being a script adaptation, the audiobook brings the characters’ emotions and personalities to life in a remarkable way. It truly felt like I was listening to a live performance on stage.

Confessor Audiobook is the eleventh audiobook in Terry Goodkind’s epic fantasy series The Sword of Truth Audiobooks, and the last in the Chainfire Audiobook trilogy bringing an end to the current story arc involving the Imperial Order. The audiobook was announced on February 20, 2007 on the author’s official website. The book was released November 13, 2007.
“Descending into darkness, about to be overwhelmed by evil, those people still free are powerless to stop the coming dawn of a savage new world, while Richard faces the guilt of knowing that he must let it happen. Alone, he must bear the weight of a sin he dare not confess to the one person he loves…and has lost.
Join Richard and Kahlan in the concluding novel of one of the most remarkable and memorable journeys ever written. It started with one rule and will end with the rule of all rules, the rule unwritten, the rule unspoken since the dawn of history.
When next the sun rises, the world will be forever changed.”
Confessor Audiobook by Terry Goodkind – The Sword of Truth Book 10
The plot of Confessor Audiobook by Terry Goodkind
Richard Rahl, leader of the D’Haran Empire, has been captured by an Imperial Order commander, who spared his life (under the guise of Ruben Rybnik) to be the point man for the commander’s Ja’La dh Jin team. Kahlan is also Jagang’s prisoner, surrounded by special guards who can see her.
During Richard’s imprisonment, he is warned by a cloaked specter that he is now a player of the Boxes of Orden. Sister Ulicia is also visited by this figure, and is told that the time to open the Boxes has been reset to one year from the first day of winter-the day that Nicci set the Boxes into motion under Richard’s name.
Wizard’s Eleventh Rule
The eleventh and final rule that appears in The Sword of Truth Audiobook series is revealed in Confessor Audiobook to be an unwritten rule. The reason is explained through the character Zeddicus Zu’l Zorander: The rule of all rules. The rule unwritten. The rule unspoken since the dawn of history… But Barracus wanted you to know that it’s the secret to using a war wizard’s power. The only way to express it, to make sure that you would grasp what he was intending to tell you, was to give you a book unwritten to signify the rule unwritten. (Chapter 65, p. 592, U.S. hardcover edition)
Richard goes through great struggle to obtain a book left for him by Baraccus, a great wizard from the past. The book entitled Secrets to a War Wizard’s power is a means for him to understand how to use his gift and therefore is in essence the solution to major problems. When he obtains the book, its pages are blank and Zedd informs him that Baraccus left it blank to illustrate the meaning of the phrase “rule unwritten”. Using this knowledge Richard reasons that the Book of Counted Shadows could not be the key to the boxes of Orden, and that the Sword of Truth was the only way to harness Orden’s power. As far as the knowledge within the book was concerned, there was “nothing in it”, much like Richard’s Secrets to a War Wizard’s Power. The Sword of Truth, representative of its namesake, was key to life.
The secret to Richard’s power is that he seeks the truth. In seeking truth he turns a blind eye to corrupt ideas and embraces the essence of life itself. The Sisters of the Dark assumed the truth to be what they had always been told by others and never thought to verify it themselves, and died for it; but would never have been able to access the power by reason of acting in hate. Richard, on the other hand, intended to use the power to help those he cared about and thus had the ability to harness the power.
Phantom Audiobook is the tenth book in Terry Goodkind’s epic fantasy series The Sword of Truth Audiobooks. Phantom Audiobook debuted in the #1 spot on The New York Times and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists, among others.
“On the day that she awoke remembering nothing but her name, Kahlan Amnell became the most dangerous woman alive. For everyone else, that was the day when the world began to end.

Plot summary of Phantom Audiobook
Phantom Audiobook by Terry Goodkind continues with Richard’s quest to find his wife, Kahlan, and release her from the Chainfire spell. Kahlan still travels with the Sisters of the Dark Ulicia, Cecilia and Armina as they hurry to catch up with the fourth Sister, Tovi. Unbeknownst to them, Tovi is dead, stabbed by Samuel and allowed to die after being questioned by Nicci. They stop at the White Horse Inn, and the Sisters are shocked when the innkeeper can see Kahlan and correctly title her.
Because of the Chainfire enacted on Kahlan, no one should be able to know she exists. She was erased from the memories of all who knew her and anyone who sees her instantly forgets. The Sisters kill the man and his family, and continue on, traveling toward Caska where they believe Tovi has gone.
Wizard’s Tenth Rule
The Wizard’s Tenth Rule, revealed in Phantom Audiobook, is: Wilfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one’s self. (Chapter 12, p. 134, U.S. hardcover edition)
It is explained in Phantom Audiobook by Terry Goodkind as follows: “People who for whatever reason don’t want to see the truth can be acutely hostile to it and shrill in their denunciation of it. They frequently turn their venomous antagonism on whoever dares to point out that truth … To those seeking the truth, it’s a matter of simple, rational, self-interest to always keep reality in view. Truth is rooted in reality, after all, not the imagination.”
Terry Goodkind – Author of Sword Of Truth Audiobook
Chainfire Audiobook is the ninth audiobook in Terry Goodkind’s epic fantasy series The Sword of Truth Audiobooks, and the first in a trilogy. Chainfire Audiobook was nominated for the Prometheus Award.
“How much of this blood is his?” “Most of it, I’m afraid,” a second woman said as they both rushed along beside him. As Richard fought to focus his mind on his need to remain conscious, the breathless voices sounded to him as if they were coming from some great dim distance. He wasn’t sure who they were. He knew that he knew them, but right then it just didn’t seem to matter. The crushing pain in the left side of his chest and his need for air had him at the ragged edge of panic. It was all he could do to try to pull each crucial breath. Even so, he had a bigger worry.
Chainfire Audiobook by Terry Goodkind – The Sword of Truth Book 9
Plot summary of Chainfire Audiobook
Richard Rahl is the ruler of the D’Haran Empire, a collection of nations previously made up of D’Hara and the Midlands. Richard Rahl and the D’Haran Empire are currently locked in an epic struggle with the Imperial Order, an Empire from the Old World, led by Emperor Jagang.
Chainfire continues the story of Richard in his attempt to teach the people that their lives are theirs alone, and that they can be free of the Imperial Order. Richard is gravely injured from an enemy’s arrow. He is brought to Nicci, a sorceress and former Sister of the Dark, who heals him using subtractive magic; this causes unforeseen events to spiral out of control. When Richard awakens, he discovers that his wife, Kahlan Amnell, the Mother Confessor, is missing.
Furthermore, no one around him seems to remember her. Nicci and Cara both attribute Richard’s memory of Kahlan to dreams and delusions brought on by his injury and possibly an unintended effect of the subtractive magic used in healing Richard. Despite Richards attempts to explain the events of the last several years could not have happened without Kahlan, the paradoxes are explained away as Richard remembering things wrong.
Wizard’s Ninth Rule
Terry Goodkind – Author of Sword Of Truth Audiobook
The Wizard’s Ninth Rule, revealed in Chainfire Audiobook by Terry Goodkind, is: A contradiction cannot exist in reality. Not in part, nor in whole. (Chapter 48, p. 489, U.S. hardcover edition)
It is explained in Chainfire Audiobook as follows: “To believe in a contradiction is to abdicate your belief in the existence of the world around you and the nature of the things in it, to instead embrace any random impulse that strikes your fancy – to imagine something is real simply because you wish it were.
A thing is what it is, it is itself. There can be no contradictions. In reality, contradictions cannot exist. To believe in them you must abandon the most important thing you possess: your rational mind. The wager for such a bargain is your life. In such an exchange, you always lose what you have at stake.”
Naked Empire Audiobook is the eighth book in Terry Goodkind’s epic fantasy series The Sword of Truth.
NAKED EMPIRE AUDIOBOOK. It begins . . . “You knew they were there, didn’t you?” Kahlan asked in a hushed tone as she leaned closer. Against the darkening sky, she could just make out the shapes of three black-tipped races taking to wing, beginning their nightly hunt. That was why he’d stopped. That was what he’d been watching as the rest of them waited in uneasy silence. “Yes,” Richard said.
Naked Empire Audiobook – The Sword of Truth Book 8
The plot of Naked Empire Audiobook
Richard, Kahlan, Cara, Jennsen, Friedrich and Tom are in the Old World, near the Pillars of Creation. They are trying to determine the meaning of a small statue resembling Kahlan. Cara had touched it and it activated like a sand hourglass. Richard notices some races and suspects that the birds are tracking them somehow.
In the middle of the night, a shadow of a man could be seen with the races, his outline betrayed by the swirling sand and grit. Richard also discovers the existence of a boundary, recently destroyed, similar to the ones placed between – Westland, the Midlands, and D’Hara – although he could not fathom why they existed. Richard’s gift is giving him headaches again, but they’re different from before. As they continue to travel, they cross paths with a young man who recognizes Richard as the Lord Rahl and begs Richard to help save his people from the Order, as his own people are too enlightened to perform violent deeds.
With other trouble on his mind, Richard refuses and sends Owen away. Richard begins to notice a problem with the Sword of Truth, as well as his magic. Furthermore, he starts developing a fever and a chill. Nicci sends a letter in warning, but it was destroyed by the Imperial Order before they could finish reading it.
Wizard’s Eighth Rule
The Wizard’s Eighth Rule, revealed in Naked Empire Audiobook by Terry Goodkind, is: Deserve victory. (Translated from “Talga Vassternich” in High D’Haran, a literary fictional language) (Chapter 61, p.626, U.S. hardcover edition)
It is explained in Naked Empire Audiobook as follows: “Be justified in your convictions. Be completely committed. Earn what you want and need rather than waiting for others to give you what you desire.”
The Pillars of Creation Audiobook by Terry Goodkind
Summary of The Pillars of Creation Audiobook
The Pillars of Creation Audiobook is the seventh audiobook in Terry Goodkind’s epic fantasy series The Sword of Truth Audiobooks. It is the first book in the series not to feature Richard Rahl as the protagonist, although he does appear.
The Pillars of Creation Audiobook revolves around several new characters in the Sword of Truth Audiobook series. Jennsen, for most of her life, has been running from the assassins sent by Lord Rahl to kill her.
Any ungifted child of the Lord Rahl must die. A stranger convinces her that running will do her no good for wherever she goes, Lord Rahl’s soldiers will find her; it is time for her to stop fleeing and fight back. If she wants to live, she must kill Lord Rahl.
The Pillars Of Creation Audiobook – The Sword of Truth Book 7
The plot of The Pillars of Creation Audiobook
Tormented her entire life by inhuman voices, Jennsen seeks to end her intolerable agony. She at last discovers a way to silence the voices. For everyone else, the torment is about to begin. Richard Rahl and his wife, Kahlan, have been reunited after their long separation, but with winter descending and the paralyzing dread of an army of annihilation occupying their homeland, they must venture deep into a strange and desolate land. Their quest turns to terror when they find themselves the helpless prey of a tireless hunter.
Exploited by those intent on domination, Jennsen finds herself drawn into the center of a violent struggle for conquest and revenge. Worse yet, she finds her will seized by dark forces more abhorrent than anything she ever envisioned. Only then does she come to realize that the voices were real. Staggered by loss and increasingly isolated, Richard and Kahlan desperately struggle to survive. But if they are to live, they must stop the relentless, unearthly threat that comes out of the darkest night of the human soul. To do so, Richard will be called upon to face the demons stalking among the Pillars of Creation…
Wizard’s Seventh Rule
The Wizard’s Seventh Rule, revealed in The Pillars of Creation Audiobook by Terry Goodkind, is: Life is the future, not the past. (Chapter 60, p. 549, U.S. hardcover edition)
It is explained in The Pillars of Creation Audiobook as follows: “The past can teach us, through experience, how to accomplish things in the future, comfort us with cherished memories, and provide the foundation of what has already been accomplished. But only the future holds life. To live in the past is to embrace what is dead. To live life to its fullest, each day must be created anew. As rational, thinking beings we must use our intellect, not a blind devotion to what has come before, to make rational choices.”
Literary significance and reception
Publishers Weekly had this to say in their review of The Pillars of Creation Audiobook by Terry Goodkind: “Amid the interminable sword-and-sorcery in the tradition of Robert E. Howard, the author spouts his familiar political pieties. Lip service may be paid to public good, but passion arises only in scenes of violence.
For all its clumsy exposition, unlikely coincidences and feeble attempts at humor, this latest installment, with its striking jacket art showing a beautiful desert landscape, is as certain to please Goodkind’s legions of fans as previous books in the series.”
Terry Goodkind – Author of Sword Of Truth Audiobook
Faith of the Fallen Audiobook is the sixth book in Terry Goodkind’s epic fantasy series The Sword of Truth Audiobooks.
Terry Goodkind, author of the enormously popular Sword of Truth Audiobook 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 world 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.
Plot of Faith Of The Fallen Audiobook by Terry Goodkind
Faith of the Fallen begins where Soul of the Fire leaves off. Richard is taking Cara and injured Kahlan to the high mountains of his homeland, Westland. At the end of the Soul of the Fire Richard realizes that he cannot win against Emperor Jagang until the people themselves want to fight for freedom.
Because of this mindset Richard isolates himself in the woods, to allow Kahlan time to heal, and refuses to give orders to the D’Haran army. After Kahlan has made a significant recovery, Nicci arrives and captures Kahlan by using a maternity spell, linking herself to Kahlan and enabling herself to kill Kahlan at any time. Richard is forced to go with Nicci into the Old World, leaving Kahlan, Cara, and the Sword of Truth to rejoin the D’Haran army.
Faith Of The Fallen Audiobook – The Sword of Truth Book 6
Shortly afterward, Prelate Ann and the reformed Sister of the Dark Alessandra visit the camp, looking for Richard, claiming his need for the people to prove their worth is pointless and that the prophecy dictates his required actions. This enrages Kahlan, and she threatens to murder Alessandra unless Ann destroys her journey book, which will prevent her from coordinating with Verna and the D’haran army. Kahlan and Cara, despite knowing Richard’s objections, leave the Upper Ven in search of help from Zedd and Sister Verna. Seeing the plight of her troops fighting against the Order, Kahlan takes command of the combined armies of D’Hara and the Midlands in a desperate attempt to halt the Order’s advance into the New World.
Following Nicci, Richard is put to work in the Old World capital of Altur’Rang, finding work as a delivery man of steel and timber for construction, as Nicci’s only requirement is that he care for her and himself, expecting the conditions of life among the poor will crush Richard’s spirits. Richard also meets Brother Narev, a sorcerer who is constructing a spellform for the Imperial Palace that will effectively make Emperor Jagang immortal.
As Richard becomes successful and relatively happy, even turning around the deplorable conditions of the neighborhood despite the conditions, Nicci begins to doubt her position, and finds she is viciously hated by her neighbors for her treatment of Richard. She attempts to seduce Richard but fails, and gives herself to a local thug, Gadi, who brutally assaults her, thinking that Kahlan will believe Richard finally fell for her charms. Richard is approached to lead a peaceful protest against the Order but he refuses and begs his friends to stay away, knowing it will be a wholesale slaughter. Hundreds are killed, and hundreds more are hung and tortured. Richard is eventually turned in by Gadi as a collaborator. Nicci spends a fortune in gold she finds Richard has hidden to set him free, finding he has been severely beaten.
Richard, as punishment for his “civil infraction,” is commanded to erect a disgusting sculpture glorifying human suffering for the center of the New Palace. Secretly, Richard works tirelessly to create his own statue of a noble man and woman out of a block of flawed marble he purchases from a local quarryman. It is of such beauty that a huge procession is lead through the city to view it.
Brother Narev, when he finally arrives to see the statue, orders Richard to destroy it. Richard takes up the hammer and points to the crowd, telling them that the Order only wishes to destroy beauty, only wishes to enslave humanity under the doctrine of faith unsupported by the true value of life. He swings the hammer and shatters the statue in one blast. The people are outraged, and immediately revolt, proclaiming that the Order will not enslave them any longer. They attack the Imperial Order, and Altur’Rang falls to the hands of the rebels. Richard finds a group of his friends overseeing the execution of the Order governing council.
After fighting many battles against the Imperial Order, overseeing the wedding of Verna to the Wizard Warren, the subsequent death of Warren at the hands of Gadi, Kahlan and Cara leave to find Richard, learning from Gadi’s interrogation that he is in Altur’Rang. They enter Altur’Rang in time to see the statues destruction. As the rebellion begins, Richard enters the palace to find Brother Narev. While working his way through the dark corridors, he encounters Kahlan, the Sword of Truth over her shoulder. He attacks her and engineers the fight so that Kahlan runs him through. This forces Nicci to choose – to sever the maternity spell and save him or let him die and continue serving the Order. Nicci, wholeheartedly converted to Richards cause after seeing his sculpture, removes the maternity bond to Kahlan and heals Richard. Altur’Rang is free, for a time, from the grasp of the Order, and the people have found a determination not to serve the system as slaves. The epilogue ends with Kahlan shyly staring at a massive statue of Spirit, a model Richard had carved with her face, being erected in the center of the newly free Altur’Rang.
Wizard’s Sixth Rule
In Faith of the Fallen Audiobook, the Wizard’s Sixth Rule is revealed to be:The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason. (Chapter 41, p. 319, U.S. hardcover edition)
It is explained in Faith Of The Fallen Audiobook by Terry Goodkindas follows: “The Sixth Rule is the hub upon which all rules turn. It is not only the most important rule, but the simplest. Nonetheless, it is the one most often ignored and violated, and by far the most despised. It must be wielded in spite of the ceaseless, howling protests of the wicked. Misery, iniquity, and utter destruction lurk in the shadows outside its full light, where half-truths snare the faithful disciples, the deeply feeling believers, the selfless followers. Faith and feelings are the warm marrow of evil.
Unlike reason, faith and feelings provide no boundary to limit any delusion, any whim. They are a virulent poison, giving the numbing illusion of moral sanction to every depravity ever hatched. Faith and feelings are the darkness to reason’s light. Reason is the very substance of truth itself. The glory that is life is wholly embraced through reason, through this rule. In rejecting it, in rejecting reason, one embraces death.”
Terry Goodkind – Author of Sword Of Truth Audiobook
Richard and Kahlan are finally married and are enjoying their wedding night back in the Spirit house in the Village of the Mud People. Soon, sudden and unexplainable deaths begin to occur, and Richard comes to the conclusion that when Kahlan called forth “the chimes” in order to save him, they remained free, causing havoc. Zedd sends Richard and Kahlan off to the Wizard’s Keep in Aydindril to get a special bottle that contains a spell that will stop the threat.
While en route, Richard, Kahlan, and their Mord-Sith protector Cara are sidetracked into dealing with the people of Anderith, who have a powerful weapon of mass destruction called the Dominie Dirtch. They find that the leadership of Anderith wishes to surrender to the Imperial Order rather than surrender to the D’Haran Empire. As Richard tries his best to convince the people of Anderith of the danger the Imperial Order poses, he becomes firmly convinced that the chimes are loose

Soul Of Fire Audiobook – The Sword of Truth Book 5
Continuing on from Temple of the Winds Audiobook, Soul Of Fire Audiobook begins after Richard and Kahlan’s wedding in the village of the Mud People. Strange deaths and the appearance of a ‘chicken-that-isn’t-a-chicken’ leaves Richard fearing the worst. Zedd confides in Richard that the chicken is a Lurk sent by Emperor Jagang’s Sisters of the Dark. According to Zedd, the only way to destroy the Lurk is by smashing a bottle from the Wizard’s Keep in Aydindril with the Sword of Truth.
However, Zedd is actually lying. He has surmised that a terrible magic known as “the chimes” has been accidentally released by Kahlan in her attempt to cure Richard. The chimes will eventually drain all magic from the world of the living, beginning with the additive magic. This would cause death to beings that require magic and possibly cause the destruction of the world if additive magic were to completely fail. Zedd determines that he must find a remedy, and wants Richard and Kahlan safely out of the way while he does so.
Richard, Kahlan and Cara, unaware of the truth, set out to accomplish the task of breaking the bottle. Meanwhile, Zedd and Ann set off in separate ways. Zedd recalls some lore that relates the chimes to Anderith and he travels there to attempt to banish the chimes. Ann infiltrates the Imperial Order in order to save the Sisters of the Light under Jagang’s enslavement. However, the Sisters of the Light betray Ann to Jagang because they fear the wrath of Emperor Jagang, causing Ann to be captured.

Wizard’s Fifth Rule
The Wizard’s Fifth Rule, revealed in Soul of the Fire Audiobook, is: Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie.
It is explained in the novel as follows: “People will lie to deceive you from what they truly mean to do. Watching the actions they take will prove their true intentions.”
Temple of the Winds Audiobook is the fourth audiobook in Terry Goodkind’s epic fantasy series The Sword of Truth Audiobooks.
Jagang, Emperor of the Imperial Order, has invoked a bound fork prophecy binding Richard and Kahlan to a fate of pain, betrayal, and a path to the Underworld. At Jagang’s behest a Sister of the Dark gains access into the fabled Temple of the Winds and has unleashed a plague that sweeps across the lands like a firestorm consuming lives at an alarming rate. To stop the plague Richard and Kahlan are forced to sacrifice everything they have between them.

Temple Of The Winds Audiobook – The Sword of Truth Book 4
Temple of the Winds Audiobok picks up shortly where the last volume, Blood of the Fold Audiobook, left off. A wizard named Marlin appears in Aydindril announcing his intent to kill Richard Rahl. He is immediately captured and questioned by the Mother Confessor, Kahlan Amnell, and one of Richard’s bodyguards, Cara. Cara uses her Mord’Sith ability to capture Marlin’s gift when he tries to escape, but the link between Cara and Marlin is used against her when Emperor Jagang takes possession of Marlin soon thereafter. A lady named Nadine, whom Richard had known as an herbalist from the Westland, arrives and attempts to heal Cara, but fails. Richard’s half-brother Drefan, a self-proclaimed high priest of a sect of healers, does, however, succeed in curing Cara with acupressure. Kahlan learns that Nadine and Richard had been close, but that Nadine had pursued Richard’s brother in a baffling attempt to seduce Richard.
Meanwhile, Zedd and Prelate Annalina continue their search for the unleashed Nathan Rahl. Their search leads them to a run down inn in an unnamed city, where they discover that Nathan misled them into following another man. The man then gives them a message informing them not to follow Nathan but to protect a treasure instead. A Sister of the Dark, who was also following Nathan, ends up getting caught in a snare Zedd intended for the Prophet Rahl. Meanwhile, Nathan rescues a woman named Clarissa from a life of slavery in the Imperial Order. He then builds a relationship with the woman and uses her to obtain items from Jagang that were given under a tentative deal struck between Nathan (acting as Lord Rahl at the time) and the Emperor.
Richard and Berdine continue to work on the translation of the ‘Journal of Kolo’. In the midst of all these activities, a Sister of the Dark travels through Aydindril spreading a magical plague. In a search for a cure, Richard travels to the First Wizard’s Enclave. To save the people of the Midlands from the plague, Kahlan is told again and again by prophecy and the ancestor spirits of the Mud People that she must betray Richard to allow him to enter the Temple of the Winds, and that Richard must marry Nadine, or everyone in the New World will die of the plague. Even confronting the witch Shota, who sent Nadine to the Palace, Shota says that it was out of pity for Richard, that Nadine was the only other woman he ever even remotely cared for, and that the prophecy is unstoppable.
Wizard’s Fourth Rule
Temple Of The Winds Audiobook by Terry Goodkind gives the Wizard’s Fourth Rule: There is magic in sincere forgiveness, the magic to heal. In forgiveness you grant, but more so, in forgiveness you receive. (Chapter 41, p. 398, U.S. hardcover edition)
It is explained in the audiobook as follows: “Forgiving and being forgiven are powerful elements of healing for the soul. Forgiving others grants by the giving of forgiveness but more so one receives self healing by the necessity of letting go of bitterness through forgiveness of others.”
