Overview

From bestselling author Terry Brooks comes the final thrilling novel in the Dark Legacy of Shannara trilogy!
*
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

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.

Editorial Reviews

AUGUST 2013 - AudioFile

This is the last in a trilogy that is part of a nine-book series—and will be better enjoyed by those familiar with the story’s background and context. Brooks picks up the threads of the many plot lines that have developed since a band of characters set off long ago to find the elf stones and protect the Four Lands from monsters and other dark forces. Rosalyn Landor portrays the characters with familiarity and ease, particularly their dialogue. She is clearly engaged with the story from the start. And she establishes a pace that keeps the descriptive passages moving forward and enhances the action sequences. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
