The sea is rising, and with it comes the end of the world.
After the devastation of Siege of Stone, new threats gather in the shadow of the Old World. The barbarian Norukai, masters of cruelty and conquest, are uniting a fleet large enough to drown nations. On their rocky islands, they prepare for war unlike any seen before.
Captured and imprisoned, King Grieve, Lila, and Bannon discover the true scope of the Norukai’s plan—and the horror driving it. As Nicci races to confront an enemy born of blood and vengeance, every choice becomes a battle for the soul of the world.
Heart of Black Ice delivers the thrilling finale to Terry Goodkind’s Nicci Chronicles, a saga of magic, defiance, and destiny.
