《真理之剑》The Sword of Truth 是美国作家泰瑞·古德坎(Terry Goodkind)创作的奇幻小说系列,作者隐居美国东北深林,写出教条意味浓厚,情节紧凑的一个系列。本作几乎成为"严肃奇幻"(High Fantasy) 的典范。同时也是剑和魔法世界的名著。不过该系列又跟一般的奇幻作品有极大的不同,尤其是不像所谓的严肃奇幻巨细靡遗的描述一个广大的世界,而是由几个角色一波波的带出剧情。
畅销小说《真理之剑》是Terry Goodkind一生的心血。该系列曾被翻译成20多种语言,在全球累计销售了2000多万套,并让Terry Goodkind一举跃升为世界最热门的幻想小说家。该系列的第一卷《巫师第一守则》于1994年出版发行,至2007年共11卷。
《探索者传说》Legend of the Seeker 即为此故事改编的电视剧。
故事的开头其实很平常:Richard Cypher的父亲在被人谋杀前,给儿子留下了一条颇为晦涩的信息,Richard必须尽一切可能弄清事情的真相。但这个看似 "简单" 的任务,却让Richard一头栽进了充满危险、魔法、预言和战争的陌生世界。他很快发现,古老的预言让自己的命运和无数人的命运联系在一起,甚至要为之付出自由的代价--他虽然不了解这个世界,但必须拯救它。
在冒险的旅途中,Richard爱上了一位美貌但是危险的女人--圣母Kahlen Amnell。最初,Kahlen因为自己的特殊身份,一直无法接受Richard的爱。但是Richard发现了一个巨大的秘密,帮助Kahlen超越了自己的圣徒之身,两人最终走到一起。
对抗邪恶的统治者始终是此类题材作品的核心内容,《真理之剑》也不例外。在书中,Richard将先后对抗邪恶巫师之子Darken Rahl和 "帝国皇帝" Jagang。"帝国" 作为旧势力的缩影,拥有让人畏惧的强大实力--除了数目庞大、训练有素的武装部队之外,他们还拥有无坚不摧的魔法军团。Richard所领导的 "新世界" 与这样一支军队进行战斗,不仅仅需要实力和勇气,更需要冷静的头脑和聪明的智慧。
在书中,"帝国" 控制着中土世界(Midland),而Richard从小在西土世界(Westland)长大。西土世界是个和平而安逸的地方,从未遭受过魔法的侵袭(鉴于本书创作于冷战刚结束不久的年代,这显然是作者对现实世界的影射和 "意淫")。年迈的隐士Zedd一直指导Richard学习各种本领,并照顾他的生活,Richard因此把他当作自己最好的朋友。Richard并不知道,Zedd就是他的亲爷爷!后来,Richard来到中土世界,第一次见到了魔法,但他并不想学。遇见Kahlan Amnell后Richard方知道,原来Zedd是一位巫师,而他自己也稀里糊涂成了 "真理的探索者"。
《真理之剑》的诞生曾被美国出版界盛誉为 "世界上最伟大的事件之一"。美国人认为它 "超越了从未有人超越过的边界","吸引了大量不同类型的读者,以前从未有哪本书达到过这个境地","真正的爱好者反复从书中获得灵感和启发","爱好者们情不自禁地想,Richard接下来会做什么?"
虽然这一切称赞只是美国人的片面之词,有些言过其实,但《真理之剑》的确是一部不可不看的优秀幻想作品。

The Sword of Truth is a series of eleven epic fantasy novels written by Terry Goodkind. The books follow the protagonists Richard Cypher, Kahlan Amnell and Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander on their quest to defeat oppressors who seek to control the world and those who wish to unleash evil upon the world of the living. While each novel was written to stand alone except for the final three that were intended to be a trilogy, they follow a common timeline and are linked by ongoing events that occur throughout the series.
The series began in 1994 with Wizard's First Rule and has since spawned 10 more novels in addition to a novella titled Debt of Bones. The last novel in the series, Confessor, was released in 2007. As of 2008, 25 million copies of the series' books have been sold worldwide,[1] and the series has been translated into more than 20 languages.[2] A television series adaptation of the novels, titled Legend of the Seeker, is currently being produced by ABC Studios and broadcast via syndication.
Keith Parkinson served as the cover artist for all the novels of the first edition apart from Wizard's First Rule and Blood of the Fold. New hardback and paperback editions of those two books were later published with new cover illustrations by Parkinson. Parkinson died on 26 October 2005, but not before completing the cover art for the last two novels in the series.

In addition, Goodkind wrote a short story titled Debt of Bones for the 1998 anthology Legends, edited by Robert Silverberg. The story takes place in the Sword of Truth universe and is set a few decades before the events in the main series. In 2001, the story was published as a stand-alone novella.
