The Omen Machine by Terry GoodkindMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The war with Jagang has been over for several years and life is just getting back to normal . Trade relations are starting to sprout. Everyone wants in. Benjamin, a Dharan General, is getting married to Cara, a mired sith. This is something that never happens. Surrounding leaders are all here to attend the event. But danger is lurking in the shadows. A boy prophecies to Richard and Kahlan giving them both a nasty scratch on the hand. Two women kill their children to avoid prophecy. Baying black dogs represent a threat. Visitors in the castle feel they are being watched . Guests turn up dead and everyone wants Richard to follow prophecy.
Behind it all is a nasty necromantuc Hedge maid from the Dark Lands and a very mad bishop named Hannis Arc. Hannis Arc had his family killed off by Panis Rahl so he wants his revenge on the house of Rahl.
Deep I side the mountain of the people palace is the omen machine itself. It gives out prophecies on metal tabs and to people at random. Everyone is prophecizing with bad results . Kahlan gets pursued by a pack of vicious dogs and is held Captive by the hedgemaid. Rest assured there will be a follow up.
