Legend has it that Paxon Leah is descended from the royals and warriors who once ruled the Highlands and waged war with magical weapons. But those kings, queens, and heroes are long gone, and there is nothing enchanted about the antique sword that hangs above Paxon’s fireplace. Running his family’s modest shipping business, Paxon leads a quiet life - until extraordinary circumstances overturn his simple world…and rewrite his destiny.

Story
Since the death of the Druid Allanon, the Four Lands have changed profoundly, with magic strictly forbidden in the Southland, now under totalitarian rule. Yet Par still has some power of the Wishsong. A message from Allanon arrives: venture to the dread Hadeshorn, along with the other Scions of Shannara. For in the future, all life in the Four Lands will be destroyed. To prevent this terrible fate, Allanon commands Par to recover the long-lost Sword of Shannara, a task that is next to impossible.

Fearing the worst, the High Druid dispatches a diplomatic party under the protection of the order’s sworn guardian, Dar Leah, to confront the mysterious, encroaching force and discover its purpose.

Why we think it’s a great listen: How do you one-up a book that’s already a global literary phenomenon? Hire Simon Vance to (flawlessly) interpret the loves, lives, and murders of Sweden’s cold and secret-filled world. A spellbinding amalgam of murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue. It's about the disappearance 40 years ago of Harriet Vanger, a young scion of one of the wealthiest families in Sweden.

It began on New Year’s Eve. The sickness came on suddenly, and spread quickly. The fear spread even faster. Within weeks, everything people counted on began to fail them. The electrical grid sputtered; law and government collapsed - and more than half of the world’s population was decimated. Where there had been order, there was now chaos. And as the power of science and technology receded, magick rose up in its place.

Publisher's Summary
From New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks comes the final thrilling novel in a brand-new trilogy: The Dark Legacy of Shannara!
For centuries the Four Lands enjoyed freedom from its demon-haunted past, protected by magic-enhanced borders from the dark dimension known as the Forbidding and the profound evil imprisoned there. But now the unthinkable is happening: The ancient wards securing the barrier between order and mayhem have begun to erode - and generations of bloodthirsty, monstrous creatures, fueled by a rage thousands of years in the making, are poised to spill forth, seeking revenge for what was done to them.
Young Elf Arling Elessedil possesses the enchanted means to close the breach and once more seal the denizens of the Forbidding in their prison. But when she falls into the hands of the powerful Federation’s diabolical Prime Minister, her efforts may be doomed. Only her determined sister, Aphen, who bears the Elfstones and commands their magic, has any hope of saving Arling from the hideous fate her captor has in store. Meanwhile, Railing Ohmsford - desperate to save his imprisoned brother - seeks to discover if his famed but ill-fated ancestor Grianne is still alive and willing to help him save the world... no matter the odds or the consequences.

Wonderful conclusion
As always, Terry Brooks delivers. I was brought to tears during an emotional loss in the story two times. I see a formula in all these Shanara books but love them all and look forward to more. Rosalyn Landor is magnificent.

Slow at first .....
Would you consider the audio edition of Witch Wraith to be better than the print version?
Yes, the print version was just moving too slow for me.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Yes, a review at the beginning of the book would have been helpful.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Yes, narration was good, lots of description
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Not really.
Any additional comments?
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy Terry Brooks books. This story was just a little slow for me. I started with the book and stopped. I had to start again with the audio and once it got going it really took off. Thats why I can give it a 4 overall.

Book series was great, love the voice actress!
My husband and I had read almost everyone of Terry’s books, this series was ok. I didn’t like the deaths and you can guess what will happen next, most of the time. But I still enjoy them. I love love love the female voice actress for this set of books. She is wonders with both male and female. They need her in the future books!

What elfstones?
Good and bad this trilogy is a nostalgia piece. I was super stoked to dive into this book! The missing elfstones caught me up but then they almost completely faded out of the storyline which bummed me out. The performance of the story was really excellent! The story itself had really really strong moments but then others that felt recycled or hurried. Overall I am happy that I picked it up and will continue to follow Terry Brooks.

Book 2 is a little dry, the action seems to wander adrift for several chapters. However book three sees Terry at her stride and you fall into the drama, action and weaving again.

Great closing to a great series.
What did you love best about Witch Wraith?
This book was a great ending to a wonderful series, well, this particular trilogy, and you will not be disappointed. I have read many Terry Brooks books and even within this trilogy this one was pretty good.
What does Rosalyn Landor bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She did a great job with changing characters and was pleasant to listen to.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No, sorry, I can't cry. Tear ducts were removed when I joined the Army. :P
