Terry Goodkind - Prequel - Debt of Bones (Sword of Truth)
Before the Boundaries there was the war between D'Hara and the Midlands. Zedd was First Wizard of the Midlands in charge of countering the dangerous magic of Panis Rahl, and was doing quite well until a supplicant came to the Wizard's Keep bearing a burden as heavy as bones. Abby's request was quite simple: Repay a Debt of bones by saving the people of her home, Coney Crossing, from the cluches of the D'Harans; save her daughter. But this is no simple debt to be repaid. If Zedd is to uphold his end, it might forfeit the war with D'Hara.
John Osborne's classic play was singled out as the 'best young play of its decade' by critic Kenneth Tynan who went on to claim its place as a major turning point in British Theatre. Its central character, Jimmy Porter, first burst across the stage in May 1956, both shocking and charming his audiences - the original incarnation of the angry young man.
The play is set in the Midlands, in the mid 1950s, and charts the cruel but passionate relationship between Jimmy and his young wife Alison, as the pair struggle for survival in a destructive relationship.
