- With Kahlan and Zed's assistance, Richard sets out to avenge his father's death. But with their way across the boundary gone they may have no way of returning to the Midlands even if they retrieve the Book of Counted Shadows.
- Giant warrior Chase Brandstone joins Richard, Zed and Kahlan on their quest to stop the rising dark lord, but that turns Michael's men against his family. Darken Rahl's warlocks and sorcerers jointly weaken the magical border until his army can pass, to capture the magical book. Richard rather burns it and wields the sword with unhoped-for success, except that Kahlan's magical companion is fatally wounded. Zed approves of it being withheld from Darken at any cost and their party can now cross the border themselves.—KGF Vissers
- After accepting the role of the Seeker, Richard formulates a plan with Zedd, Kahlan and his friend Chase (Jay Laga'aia) to find Fane. Darken Rahl attempts to bring down the magical boundary that separates the Midlands and Westland, which will allow Fane to return with the Book of Counted Shadows. Fane kidnaps Chase's daughter and forces a sorceress to give him the Night Stone to cross the boundary. Richard and Kahlan pursue Fane to the boundary, where Richard kills him and retrieves the Book. Meanwhile, Rahl's soldiers destroy the boundary. Richard throws the Book into a fire to stop the soldiers from taking it. Together with Kahlan, he defeats them. Having recovered from his injury, Zedd joins Richard and Kahlan as they set off into the Midlands.
