Temple of the Winds

An enemy sorceress infiltrates the Temple of the Winds and unleashes a plague killing people across the Midlands at a terrifying rate, just as Emperor Jagang tightens a prophecy meant to bind Richard Cypher and Kahlan Amnell toward suffering and ruin. A wizard named Marlin arrives in Aydindril announcing his intent to kill Richard, the opening move in a campaign that draws in captures, possessions, and figures from Richard's past. Stopping the plague means reaching the Temple itself, and the ancestral spirits guiding Kahlan keep insisting on a solution that would cost her everything she has with Richard. The fourth novel in Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series.
