Onetime lieutenant of the evil Emporer Jagang, the deadly Nicci captured Richard Rahl in order to convince him that the Imperial Order stood for the greater good.  But it was Richard that converted Nicci instead, and for years she served Richard and Kahlan as one of their closest friends—and one of their most lethal defenders.  Now with the reign of Richard and Kahlan finally stablized, Nicci has set out on her own for new adventures.  This will launch an entirely new series and cast of characters centered on one of the best-loved characters in the now -concluded Sword of Truth.
