Legend of the Seeker - Season 1

In a distant land, Richard Cypher discovers his true destiny as he, a mysterious young woman, a wise old wizard and a magical sword are all that stand between the evil tyrant Darken Rahl and his quest for total domination.

Using the wisdom of wizards, Richard chases Fane in hope of taking back the sacred Book of Counted Shadows.

When Darken Rahl offers a reward to anyone who captures the Seeker, deadly mercenaries set their sights on Richard Cypher, turning him from hunter to hunted.

Richard returns to the town of Brennidon, where he was born during Darken Rahl's massacre of every eldest son to avert the prophecy of the Seeker. He finds that the townspeople have given up their freedom under Rahl's rule, and discovers a secret from his past.

Darken Rahl's D'Haran soldiers capture Renn, a ten-year-old boy known as a Listener, a person with the ability to read anyone's thoughts, and a very valuable tool for those who control him. When Richard and Kahlan take Renn from his captors, the mind-reading child threatens to reveal their deepest of secrets to each other.

Richard, Kahlan and Zedd discover that peddlers are selling the villagers of Drundril elixirs, potions that temporarily give them magical powers. Searching for the makers of the potions, Zedd confronts a wizard who was once his student, but is now a dangerous and powerful rival.

Richard learns that Darken Rahl's most trusted commander, Demmin Nass, is assembling a massive force of D'Haran troops. But when Richard refuses to believe an evil witch woman who says Nass will kill him, she casts a spell which causes Richard and an unsuspecting villager to trade identities, convincing everyone that the villager is really the Seeker.

When Kahlan's feelings for Richard begin to compromise her mission, she sets off in search of another Confessor to guide the Seeker. In the meantime, Richard and Zedd are attacked by a group of D'Haran soldiers and a Mord'Sith named Denna. After capturing Richard, Denna attempts to coerce him into joining forces with the evil Darken Rahl.

Evil Queen Milena is in possession of the third and final Box of Orden. To prevent the box from falling into the hands of Darken Rahl and giving him the ultimate power he so desperately craves, Zedd disguises himself as an entertainer in order to infiltrate Milena's castle. With the help of a little slave girl named Rachel, Zedd plots to replace the coveted box with a fake. Meanwhile, Richard and Kahlan learn that Darken Rahl intends to personally retrieve the Box of Orden from the Queen.

With Richard's help, Kahlan disguises herself as a Mord'Sith to rescue her pregnant sister Dennee - who is also a Confessor - from a D'Haran prison. When Dennee gives birth to a son, Richard is horrified to learn that it's mandated that male offspring of Confessors be put to death and resolves to save the child, putting him at odds with Kahlan.

Zedd seeks out a relative in his quest to secure a safe hiding place for the Box of Orden while Richard and Kahlan investigate a series of murders among members of the resistance. Believing she has caused an innocent man to be executed, Kahlan begins to doubt her ability as a Confessor.

On his quest to uncover the final Box of Orden and achieve ultimate world domination, the evil Darken Rahl enlists his wizard, Giller, to cast the Spell of the Lying Moon on Richard. With the Seeker now caught in the grips of a mysterious dream-like trance, it's up to Kahlan and Zedd to free him of the spell before Richard reveals where he has hidden the third Box of Orden.

A quest to hide the Box of Orden from the clutches of Darken Rahl leads Richard, Kahlan and Zedd to the Crypt of Tavol'Rang - the burial place of the legendary Seeker, Kieran. But when the storied hero's sarcophagus is discovered empty, Richard and Kahlan soon learn that a deception from the past could cost them their future.

When Darken Rahl establishes a foothold in the Seeker's hometown, Richard, Kahlan and Chase must journey through the boundary to save Hartland from the forces of darkness. But once there, Richard and his companions find that the villagers have welcomed the evil D'Harans with open arms.

Darken Rahl is determined to have his personal wizard, Giller, harness a powerful magical force that will help Rahl enslave the world. But Richard's attempts to rescue his friends from the sadistic wizard's deadly experiments send him into his first explosive face-to-face confrontation with the evil Rahl.

Darken Rahl enlists the help of Denna, a dangerous Mord-Sith, to locate the Third Box of Orden and give him the final key to world domination. Meanwhile, Richard's quest to thwart Rahl's evil plan leads to a startling revelation about his friend, Zedd.

In an effort to crush the resistance, Darken Rahl enlists the help of his evil sorcerers to create lethal weaponry that wipes out entire villages. Richard infiltrates an enemy camp in order to steal the deadly weapons from the D'Harans.

Two opportunistic thieves plot to steal the Sword of Truth by using magic to disguise themselves as Richard and Kahlan. Meanwhile, the real Richard must battle a lethal Mord' Sith in order to free himself and Kahlan from the evil clutches of Darken Rahl's brutal D'Haran soldiers.

To protect his kingdom from Darken Rahl's D'Haran soldiers, a king asks the help of Shota, the witch woman. Her magic transforms him, nightly, into a vicious beast that slays the soldiers. But when the creature turns on his own people, The Seeker is called upon to stop the murders.

With news that a prophetic manuscript lies hidden in a nearby village, the Seeker embarks on a desperate race with the ruthless Darken Rahl to locate the ancient book. If Richard finds it in time, he could learn how to defeat the evil Rahl and rescue the world from total destruction.

Darken Rahl takes an unlikely captive in a violent attempt to get his hands on the Three Boxes of Orden - the final keys he needs to unlock the power of total world domination. Meanwhile, time is running out for Kahlan and Zedd as they fall victim to a horrific plague unleashed by Rahl.

Darken Rahl and his Mord'Sith find Richard and Kahlan just as they are preparing to unleash the power of Orden, which would destroy the sinister tyrant once and for all. The resulting explosion of power consumes the Seeker, leaving Kahlan in the clutches of Rahl.
