Four Mord-Sith (Raina, Cara, Berdine, and Hally) protect him as he tries to unite the Midlands under his rule. The journey is long and once he finally gets there, he starts establishing his rule as the new Lord Rahl. The plot begins exactly where we left off in Stone of Tears as Richard travels back to Aydendril with Verna and Waren. As you can guess, this kind of book isn’t the best one in the series but I do feel that it was necessary to have a bridge book like this one. Blood of the Fold wraps up the events from Wizard’s First Rule and Stone of Tears and sets up the stage for the Temple of the Winds. In my previous review of Stone of Tears, I said that the ending felt rushed – I assume this is why Terry Goodkind decided to tie up some loose ends in Blood of the Fold and to lay the groundwork for the Imperial Order saga that follows. The next four books, the first one being Blood of the Fold, follow a new storyline, one that mainly focuses on Imperial Order. The first two books, Wizard’s First Rule and Stone of Tears were a part of Darken Rahl storyline.
