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 sorceress 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.

In the riveting second season premiere, Richard discovers that in defeating the sinister tyrant Darken Rahl, victory is short-lived when he inadvertently opens a rift to the underworld, unleashing an even greater evil on the world of the living. As Richard, Kahlan and Zedd prepare for a quest to find the Stone of Tears, the only force that can close the rift, Triana, a defiant Mord'Sith, challenges Cara's authority.

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.

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.

Zedd falls victim to a mysterious spell that strips him of his memory -- and his old age. Emboldened by his newfound youth, the once-wise wizard is convinced he must replace Richard with a new Seeker to find the Stone of Tears and save a town threatened by a rift to the Underworld. Now, it’s up to Richard, Kahlan and Cara to rescue a powerful and arrogant young Zedd from a lethal showdown with Darken Rahl and the Keeper of the Underworld.
