Description

TERRY S PLACE IS AT THE HEAD OF THE FANTASY WORLD Philip Pullman

Following The Black Elfstone and The Skaar Invasion comes the third book in the triumphant four-part conclusion to the Shannara series, from one of the all-time masters of fantasy.

The Skaar have arrived in the Four Lands, determined to stop at nothing less than all-out conquest. They badly need a new home, but peaceful coexistence is not a concept they understand. An advance force under the command of princess Ajin has already established a foothold, but now the full Skaar army is on the march – and woe betide any who stands in its way.

But perhaps the Skaar victory is not a foregone conclusion. The Druid Drisker Arc has freed both himself and Paranor from exile. Drisker s student, Tarsha Kaynin, has been reunited with the chief defender of the Druid order, and is learning to control her powerful Wishsong magic. If they can only survive Tarsha s brother and the Druid who betrayed Drisker Arc, they might stand a chance of defeating the Skaar. But that is a very big if . . . as Tarsha s brother now carries the Stiehl – one of the most powerful weapons in all the Four Lands – and is determined to take his revenge on everyone who has wronged him.

Praise for Terry Brooks:

I can t even begin to count how many of Terry Brooks s books I ve read (and re-read) over the years Patrick Rothfuss

I would not be writing epic fantasy today if not for Shannara Peter V. Brett
