Red Leather, Agiels, Killer Women

Mord Sith. The word
just sends shivers down your spine. I love Terry Goodkind and The Sword of Truth series has had me
from Wizards First Rule, The Omen Machine
and the ill-fated show The Legend of
the Seeker. One of the most colorful, loved/hated and complex characters is
the Mord-Sith.
Kidnapped as children
and then tortured, Mord-Sith are broken 3 times, each time worse than the last.
I will spare the most colorful details but at the end of her “training”, a
Mord-Sith is born. First the little girl is broken with the Agiel, a painful
weapon that inflicts terrible pain. The little girls final test is to kill their
own father (This happens after the Mord-Sith who trains her torures and kills
her mother).

Mord-Sith are only
women and the personal guard of Lord Rahl, the cruel ruler of D’Hara. Mord-Sith
can capture magic with their Agiel and use it against the wizard who they
captured as their personal pet to train. The Mord-Sith are without compassion.
They blindly follow Lord Rahl.
The Mord-Sith is very recognizable
by the dark red, skin tight leather they wear. The red is to hide the blood of
those they are training or kill.

Mord-Sith are only
loyal to Lord Rahl. When they are freed by Richard Rahl (Lord Rahl’s son, we
will get into that story another time, I promise!), they are still loyal to
Richard, especially Cara and keep their Agiels out of respect and not fear and
being broken.

I recommend starting
with Debt of Bones (the prequel),
then diving right into Wizards First
Rule. Be warned, once you start, you may never put them down!
Disclaimer: The books
cover very mature topics and in very vivid detail.
