Terry Goodkind returns to the lives of Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell--in The Third Kingdom, the direct sequel to his #1 New York Times bestseller The Omen Machine.
That was when he realized the true horror of the situation, and the reason for the unbearable stench of death..
He looked from those blades that should have killed the big man, up into his face.

Richard recognized the knife handles.
The point of that same blade stuck out from the man\'s back.
Richard saw, too, the broken end of a Sword blade jutting out from the center of the man\'s chest.
Only the handles were showing.
Three knives were buried up to their brass cross-guards in the man\'s chest.
It was then, in the weak light from the fire pit off to the side, that Richard got his first good look at the killer.
It seemed impossible, but the man looked unaffected by the blade that had impaled him through the chest.
He spun back toward Richard after throwing the woman out the opening, ready to attack.
Richard saw the point of a Sword blade sticking out from between the man\'s shoulder blades.
