Richard, Kahlan and Zedd's celebration of their victory over Darken Rahl is interrupted by an attack from a creature that escaped from the underworld. Meanwhile Cara jockeys for dominance with the Mord'Sith and the witch Shota reveals a prophecy about the Seeker that horrifies Zedd.
As crisis looms in Kahlan's homeland, an accident appears to have robbed her of her powers.
Richard, Kahlan, Zedd and Cara free a D'Haran prison during their search for the Stone of Tears. When the killing continues, they have to realize that the Keeper is sending the dead back through the rift to the underworld to prey on the living.
Cara is found to be guilty of a terrible crime from the past and is sentenced to be executed by Kahlan. Richard disagrees with Cara's punishment though, and tries to save her before she meets an untimely end.
Kahlan and the others go on a search for the last remaining confessor -- a young girl named Annabelle. They discover that Annabelle is unaware of her powers though. When Annabelle discovers what she's capable of, she users her powers for her own selfish purposes, putting Richard's quest to find the Stone of Tears at stake and leaving Kahlan with a very difficult decision.
In order to trick Zedd into naming a new Seeker, Shota puts Zedd under a spell of forgetting and gives him back his youth.
