Richard must follow a vision that will mean turning his back on the people of the new world when they need him most and taking Kahlan away from the protection of the D¿Haran armies as they face the hordes of Emperor Jagang.

Richard''s gaze traced all of the passageways, the rooms, the circular halls, the dead ends, the entrapments, the lateral routes, the complex of twinned and tripled passageways, checking, hoping he was wrong. He wasn''t. "We''re in trouble," he said. Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell are fighting on all fronts. The Golden Goddess, Collector of Worlds, has infiltrated the People''s Palace, able to insinuate herself into the minds of those without the gift of magic. Richard can trust no-one but the gifted. So, when Vika, one of his sworn Mord-Sith bodyguards is abducted, he has to get her back. His determination will lead him and Kahlan deep into the labyrinthine heart of the People''s Palace – the Wasteland – and into more danger than they have ever faced before. Wasteland is the third episode in Terry Goodkind''s new serial novel, The Children of D''Hara. Told in irresistibly intense instalments, this is the story of a world confronted by an apocalyptic nightmare. ''I want to introduce everyone to THE CHILDREN OF D''HARA, a new series that continues the story of the lives of Richard and Kahlan. This is a journey that began 25 years ago with the 1994 release of WIZARD''S FIRST RULE, when Richard first met Kahlan that fateful day in the Hartland woods. After the Sword of Truth series ended, I knew there was more to Richard and Kahlan''s story. Much more. A whole world more. For years, readers have asked me about Richard and Kahlan''s lives after the Sword of Truth series... and importantly, about their children. While my masterwork, Sword of Truth, concluded with WARHEART – 20 languages and 26 million books sold – I was burning to tell readers more about Richard and Kahlan. For that reason, this new series starts immediately after the ''Sword of Truth'' books ended. Without skipping a beat, readers will plunge back into Richard and Kahlan''s lives, with new episodes releasing every three months. So it is that I want to welcome you all back into the Sword of Truth world with many of the characters besides Richard and Kahlan, such as the Mord-Sith, that we have come to love. Learn what the star shift has done to their world and what monsters now lurk in shadows. I promise an arresting, beautiful, and sometimes tragic adventure that will keep you glued to this irresistible story.'' – Terry Goodkind.
