Onetime lieutenant of the evil Emperor Jagang, known as "Death's Mistress" and the "Slave Queen", the deadly Nicci captured Richard Rahl in order to convince him that the Imperial Order stood for the greater good. But it was Richard who converted Nicci instead, and for years thereafter 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 stabilized, Nicci has set out on her own for new adventures. Her first job being to keep the unworldly prophet Nathan out of trouble...
Death's Mistress Sister of Darkness will launch The Nicci Chronicles, Terry Goodkind's entirely new series with a cast of characters centered on one of his best-loved characters in the now-concluded Sword of Truth.

"Better than I expected given the previous Richard and Kahlan trilogy. I didn't had high expectations with this book, although I was curious about the potential both main characters had. I ordered the book as soon as I was released and enjoyed it. As mentioned by previous reviewers, it's still a real page turner and looks like the series has a real potential. The main characters are shallower than in earlier books of the main series, while the story itself is also a bit linear and a lot of potential development appear to have been shed to the side to curtail the book's' length. The Old World remains mostly unexplored in the main series and I hoped this time we would have a more thoughtful and deeper journey through this vast area and the main characters move around at lightning speed until they reach the Phantom Coast far and away from the areas already explored in the mains series. Some new foes/creatures are introduced which are potentially very interesting but are not too developed in this book, although I hope in later books in the series these will receive a better development. The new main character isn't so far of great interest but, again, he'll probably flourish in later installments. Compared with earlier works, this books appears to be artificially short which may explain the problems with shallower character and world development."

Death Mistress The Nicci Chronicles Book 1 Audible Audio Edition Terry Goodkind Christina Traister Brilliance Audio Books Reviews
- In the spirit of his epic SWORD OF TRUTH series, Goodkind surges forward with a new spin-off; DEATH’S MISTRESS. Nicci is arguably my favorite supporting character, and this only proves why. For an author choosing to continue a saga after the conclusion, they must have a hero/heroine with an incomplete character arc that screams amazing potential. It’s true that Nicci already made the leap from the ‘dark side’ in my all-time favorite book, FAITH OF THE FALLEN – but I always knew she was a powder keg that had yet to be lit. Terry Goodkind’s ability to draw the reader into his world of realistic tribulations and inner dialogue, was a huge inspiration for me to begin writing in the fantasy genre back in the early 90’s. For whatever it’s worth, I highly recommend DEATH’S MISTRESS to anyone who hates letting go.
Jeffrey N Albert - I have been reading Terry Goodkind since 1995. I have read every book he's ever written and this was not as close to the standard of writing that I fell in love with. This was Terry Goodkind lite. There was almost zero character development. The story was flat, lacking the intelligence and richness that was so prevalent in his other books. I hope this was an aberration.
- One dimensional characters and a series of ridculous crises. Any clown with an old spell book can destroy the world, meanwhile Nicco with power stolen from how many wizards can barely manage to fight off a few ships of pirates. I didn't even bother finishing it.
- I read and re-read The Sword of Truth series many times waiting for the next books to be released in the series. I have enjoyed Mr. Goodkind's work since I was 14 so I have been reading his books for 20 years now. This is the start of an excellent continuation to keep this amazing world that he created going forward with hopefully no foreseeable end, but I feel like the characters lacked a lot of their depth that they had in previous books. Also it seemed like all the situations that the characters found themselves in could of been focused on as a whole book in itself instead of handling it and getting into the next dire situation a few chapters later. If you followed his other books this new direction of storyline is a must read don't get me wrong there and I will ALWAYS be a Goodkind fan and read whatever he puts out, but I feel he wasn't on his A-Game with this one. I just started book 2 and have already pre-ordered book 3 so I will see where this goes regardless.
- Seems like a ghostwriter tackled this. I hope so. I'm an avid Goodkind fan and this doesn't seem like his voice at all. The characters lack the depth that is so often a hallmark of his work. And Nicci's character is one dimensional in this book, a departure from previous works.
- Better than I expected given the previous Richard and Kahlan trilogy. I didn't had high expectations with this book, although I was curious about the potential both main characters had. I ordered the book as soon as I was released and enjoyed it. As mentioned by previous reviewers, it's still a real page turner and looks like the series has a real potential. The main characters are shallower than in earlier books of the main series, while the story itself is also a bit linear and a lot of potential development appear to have been shed to the side to curtail the book's' length.

Compared with earlier works, this books appears to be artificially short which may explain the problems with shallower character and world development.
- Death's mistress indeed. This Is a dark journey to spread the truth of lord rahl and freedom. Nicci, Nathan and a cast of characters set out to spread the good news of freedom but find themselves on a quest to save the world.
This was a dark departure from the sword of truth series, and that was dark. I liked it but was caught off balance by the sex and threat of rape. There has been little attention given to this subject in previous books. A new side to this author was revealed. It was still a fantastic journey and was glad I could tag along. - I cannot say enough about Terry Goodkind and this novel is no different. He takes this genre and give it depth so be prepared to think about what you read (which is amazing). The spin off from his Sword of Truth series comes at a perfect time in the story. It is a refreshing look from a former "bad guy or woman in this case." My only complaint is that his E-books are expensive and I don't like to pay so much for an electronic book. I look forward the the next one but I will be getting it from the library.
