Chainfire by Terry Goodkind
The latest (ninth) novel in the Sword of Truth series has Kahlan being taken from Richard (again). Only this time, only Richard remembers who she is. D'Hara is being threatened by the Imperial Order and the Emperor Jagang. Richard hunts for Kahlan by trading the Sword of Truth to Shota (the witch) who sends him off to find Chainfire. The Sisters of the Dark have stolen two of the three boxes of Orden, seeking to call the Keeper of the Dead to life.
Basically a disappointment for fans everywhere. These lengthy series tend to drag out in the middle. Hopefully, things will pick up again in the next book, but I'm beginning to doubt it.
Description follows:
On the day she awoke remembering nothing but her name, Kahlan Amnell became the most dangerous woman alive. For everyone else, that was the day that the world began to end.
As her husband, Richard, desperately searches for his beloved, whom only he remembers, he knows that if she doesn't soon discover who she really is, she will unwittingly become the instrument that will unleash annihilation. But Kahlan learns that if she ever were to unlock the truth of her lost identity, then evil itself would finally possess her, body and soul.
If she is to survive in a murky world of deception and betrayal, where life is not only cheap but fleeting, Kahlan must find out why she is such a central figure in the war-torn world swirling around her. What she uncovers are secrets darker than she could ever have imagined.

It's not that disappointing. I've continued to read the series, but it just seems to take forever for things to get resolved, and then when they do, the next tears the couple apart in some new twist.
I do like the series and I would recommend it to anyone, just don't expect resolution.
I've just finished book 10 - "Phantom" and really enjoyed it. The final book, "Confessor" is due in November! Can't wait!
