For Zedd, who commands power most men can only imagine, granting Abby's request would mean forsaking his sacred duty.

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.
Discover why millions of readers the world over have elevated Terry Goodkind to the ranks of legend.

Abby, a poor peasant who has an ancient claim on Zedd, asks the impossible of him to save her community, including her husband, child and father at the possible price of countless other lives. Illus.

From Library Journal
As the armies of Panis Rahl spread across the land, a young woman from a beleaguered town begs a boon from First Wizard Zedd, ignorant of the consequences of her request. This revised version of a novella that first appeared in the fantasy anthology Legends illuminates the period in history before the events of Goodkind's "Sword of Truth" series. The conflict between love and duty forms a central theme in this brief and touching tale of people caught up in events they cannot fully control. Keith Parkinson's pencil illustrations add a delicate touch to the story, highlighting key events in the narrative. Libraries wishing to complete their Goodkind collection will want this gracefully written story.

Customer Reviews
Good/quick read.
As a true fan of the Sword of Truth series, I enjoyed reading this prequel. However, you don't get a lot of reading material.....would I buy it over again, though....yes!
debt of bones
a good quick read, not the usual detailed work of terry goodkind, however, it wasn't intended to be, all in all a good read that gives perspective on a time prior to the sword of truth series.
Very disappointed
I really love Terry Goodkind's work, but this was totally unnecessary in that it didn't add any real value to the "Sword of Truth" series. It's advertised to explain how the boundaries were created, but the books in the series gives you enough information that it really doesn't matter. The plot was boring and it feels like he rushed to just pump it out to the market. Zedd's personality was totally different than in the books of the series, further adding to the pointlessness of the book. I don't recommend this book.
