Abby is trapped, not only between both sides of the war, but in a mortal conflict between two powerful men. For Zedd, who commands power most men can only imagine, granting Abby's request would mean forsaking his sacred duty. With the storm of the final battle about to break, both Abby and Zedd are caught in a desperate fight to save the life of a child....but neither can escape the shadow of an ancient betrayal. With time running out, their only choice may be a debt of bones. The world-for Zedd, for Abby,for everyone-will never again be the same.

Such a cool novella. From reading this book and the first 4 novels in the series I'm convinced you could read this first if you want and then start the series as it takes place quite a bit before the first book. All in all a really cool short story that just adds to the rich story of the sword of truth series.This was an interesting but not overly essential novella in the SoT series. It took us back to the time of the founding of the boundaries and gave us a glimpse into the battle between the Midlands and D'Hara that made that a necessity. The story was OK. We followed the tale of Abby as she sought an audience with the wizards in the Wizard's Keep in Aydindril. Her daughter and husband had been abducted by the D'Harans. They were part of a whole border town the D'Harans were holding as hostage to
I was initially drawn to "Debt of Bones" by Terry Goodkind because I was thinking about re-reading the "Sword of Truth" series, and if there is a prequel, you should probably read it first.This is going under my "Fantasy Book" bingo square.Debt of Bones is a fantasy book about a world set a long time ago, a time of wizards and soldiers and sorceresses, with a main Midland, and a country a little off it called D'Hara. Some of you may know it from a TV show called "Legend of the Seeker" I believe.
Publisher's weekly wrote "Teeming with violence, treachery and intrigue."No it wasn't. Mammoth numbers of people died but in that weird way in which magic serves to anaesthetize readers against the brutality of mass murder by 'doing it with big lights and otherworldy flashings'. Treachery, well i would hardly say the story teemed with it. The heroine showed herself to be a bit of a trait'rous bitch and led the Head Wizard into a trap but then thought better of it and helped him but then ballsed
Meh. It was a reread but I had forgotten most. It was kinda blah. I liked that book one leaves the boundaries a quasi-mystery. Didn't need an explanation!But not terrible because who doesn't love Zedd?
A nice addition to the Sword of Truth series that gives the reader a little window onto one of the more important events of the main series' back-story: the creation of the boundaries that divided Westland, D'Hara and the Midlands from each other. The story is short and sharp, especially when you compare it to Goodkind's other door-stopper novels, but despite that it offers a great deal. The level of detail added to Zedd's character is impressive, and we get to see in greater depth things that
*** 3.35 *** "...Enemies,' the wizard said, 'are the price of honor.... This is my first time reading any of the Sword of Truth series and I am intrigued. I already liked the First Wizard Zedd Zorander, while I am a bit annoyed by Abby. However, the Mother Confessor is fascinating, so is the world of magic and war between good and evil that is raging between the D'Harans lead by Lord Rahl and the rest of the world. It also gives us some idea about the origins and way of operation of the
