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. Also available on Xfinity

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.

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.

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.
