21st June 2018
Price: £20
Genre
‘TERRY’S PLACE IS AT THE HEAD OF THE FANTASY WORLD’ Philip Pullman
Following The Black Elfstone comes the second book in The Fall of Shannara – the epic four-part conclusion to the Shannara series from one of the all-time masters of the fantasy genre.
Tensions in the Four Lands are high. The mysterious force that laid waste to Paranor has revealed a more human face. While some gain a new understanding of the invaders and what they are after, others continue their existing quests even as the peril rises. For what looked to be a formidable invading force proves only the forerunner of a much vaster army – one that is now marching against the Four Lands in all its fury.
‘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
‘A master of the craft . . . required reading’ Brent Weeks

Fantastic . . . one of the best books in this saga
A strong opening book . . . The Four Lands face a new threat
Brooks' Shannara series is a grand example of the best of the best in the genre...The design of the Shannara books spreads the story line across centuries, yet also makes it easy for new readers to jump in at any point
Terry Brooks is a master of the craft and a trailblazer who established fantasy as a viable genre. He is required reading
I can't even begin to count how many of Terry Brooks's books I've read (and reread) over the years. From Shannara to Landover, his work was a huge part of my childhood
If Tolkien is the grandfather of modern fantasy, Terry Brooks is its favorite uncle
