The world of Shannara is brimming with untold stories and unexplored territory. Now best-selling author Terry Brooks breaks new ground with a stand-alone adventure that’s sure to thrill veteran listeners and recent converts alike.

The mysterious, magic-wielding Druid order has existed for long ages, battling any evil that threatens the Four Lands - and struggling to be understood and accepted by outsiders. But their hopes of building goodwill are dashed when a demon’s murderous rampage at a peace summit leaves their political opponents dead - casting new suspicions upon the Druids and forcing them to flee from enemies both mortal and monstrous.

Paxon Leah, the order’s appointed protector, knows that blame lies with Arcannen Rai, the vile sorcerer he has battled and defeated before. But there’s no time to hunt his nemesis, if he is to lead the wrongfully accused Druids to their sanctuary. It is a quest fraught with danger, as a furious government agent and his army snap at their heels, and lethal predators stalk them in the depths of the untamed wilderness.

But Arcannen is playing a deeper game than Paxon realizes. Paxon’s sister possesses a powerful magic that the sorcerer longs to control - but Arcannen has not reckoned with the determination of his own estranged daughter, Leofur, who is also Paxon’s devoted lifemate. Leofur sets out on a perilous quest to thwart her father’s desires - while the vengeful Arcannen conjures his blackest magical skills, determined to destroy them all...and claim the most powerful of magics for his own.

The story was the weakest of all the books in the Shannara series but the performance was good as usual.

Pro's: Great ending to a trilogy. Climax was very pleasing to the ears. Terry Brooks pulled off another trilogy that I adored and brought another aspect to the four lands that didn't involve a demon invasion, which was relieving. Overall I would recommend this book to read/listen to.

Cons:It was difficult at times to understand which character was speaking unless it was a female character. The only real distinguishable voice that could be heard from one male to another was Arcanan Rye. I found myself at times wondering "Who is talking right now?" Terry Brooks could've done a lot more with the journey of Leofur and Emric. It was extremely bland and dull until their climax, most of their conversations consisted of "You don't understand what's going to happen" and her response of you don't know that. All those chapters spent on explaining how Leofur doesn't understand could've been spent on triumphs and tribulations spent on the journey.

Loved it overall but could be better.

Worst ending in the series

This was another enjoyable listen. I'm not sure that Terry Brooks is a great romance novelist but the rest of the story was interesting and kept the action moving within the different threads.

Another good Terry Brooks story

I'm pretty irritated with Terry on this book. what he did with the Ark of the second book was amazing.. and set up for some fireworks even in the beginning of this book.. but what he does with the final third seems like he was just trying to finish to keep it at an editor's pitch count. honestly he should have done this as a four-part series because there were so many other storylines he could have fleshed out. it still worth completing the series and he makes it work in the end.. but I am left wanting so much more. I feel like I was promised to steak dinner and was served the baked potato and the green beans with a roll.. and a half a steak overcooked.

So much potential.. wasted

Another great story, three volumes in the series that tells the story of the scorcher’s part in the Federation and the Druids developing the 4 lands

The Olmsford decedent effect is evident here
