Death's Mistress

One-time lieutenant of the evil Emperor Jagang, known as `Death`s Mistress` and the `Slave Queen,` the deadly Nicci captured Richard Rahl in order to convince him that the Imperial Order stood for the greater good. But it was Richard who converted Nicci instead, and for years thereafter she served Richard and Kahlan as one of their closest friends - and one of their most lethal defenders.
