Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind

In the Sword of Truth series, Richard Cypher is a typical youth in a small town; little does he know that his comfortable life in the Westland is about to change when the barrier that separates his home from the east is about to fall leashing unimaginable evil on the world. With the help of a enigmatic young lady, and a rambunctious wizard, Richard must try and prevent the opening of three boxes of Orden which would potentially destroy all life and existence. Setting out on a quest that takes him into danger at every step, Richard must take hold of his destiny if he is to succeed….

The Sword of Truth series is one of the most well written series of fantasy books I have read. It has believable characters, decent action and intrigue and the usual assortment of monsters, magic and romance. It's different than many fantasy series due to several factors; it is more adult in nature with sado-masochistic elements. It also has a main theme throughout the books even though each novel can be read separately.
