New York Times best seller

After The Black Elfstone and The Skaar Invasion comes the penultimate volume in the Fall of Shannara, a saga more than four decades in the making.

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 have ever understood. An advance force under the command of the mercurial princess Ajin has already established a foothold, but now, the full Skaar army is on the march - and woe betide any who stand in its way.

But perhaps the Skaar victory is not quite the foregone conclusion everyone assumes. The Druid Drisker Arc has freed both himself and Paranor from their involuntary exile. Drisker’s student, Tarsha Kaynin, has been reunited with Dar, chief defender of what is left of the Druid order, and is learning to control her powerful wishsong magic. If they can only survive Tarsha’s brother, Tavo, and the Druid who betrayed Drisker Arc, they might stand a chance of defeating the Skaar.

But that is a very big if...as Tavo now carries the Stiehl - one of the most powerful weapons in all the Four Lands - and is hell-bent on taking his revenge on everyone he feels has wronged him.

He is one of my all time favorite authors. Last book I read & listened to was the Stiehl Assassin, the fall of Shannara, book 3., The only bummer is book4 cant be obtained until October. I'm glad I've read all his books. This is the best way to re-listen to keep download& re-listen whenever I desire. Audible makes this process the easiest I've ever experienced. So ty for making my experience one of ease. Don't know how happy I am with this especially since I'm no were near tech savvy by any stretch of the word. The only thing I have hard time with is downloading them to my devices. Having said that I'd still rate Audible 5 stars because it could be me that is doing something wrong with the downloading them part. Odds is it is me so I can't blame anyone but me for that.<3

So many reasons for this book not to be the last.
1. the Skaar shouldn't take over the lands without a fight. 2. Drisker Arc knew the whole thing was a trap. 3. the land's have gone without much of a druid presence before 4. the magic has come into the lands when needed 5. Tarsha should have seen it coming knowing it to be a trap and been prepared 6. it has been too good a series to end so suddenly,. All in all - the narrator did a great job of voices and of the rise and fall of the excitement.

So many reasons for the story not to end

I grew up reading Terry Brooks and have fond memories of reading them with my dad. Terry always finds a way to leave a book with an intense cliffhanger. My heart is incredibly sad that Shannara is ending. Terry has left legacies throughout his life that I hope last forever.

AMAZING!
