Richard has been poisoned and the price of the antidote is saving of an empire from annihiliation. Richard is offered not only his life, but the salvation of a people, in exchange for delivering his wife, Kahlan, into bondage to the enemy. They face possibly the most devastating choice they will ever have to make.
