<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>After more than three decades of captivating epic fantasy readers, the storytelling magic of "New York Times"-bestselling author Brooks' Shannara saga continues to enthrall. Now the fascinating chronicle of Shannara's prehistory reaches a thrilling new peak in the sequel to "Bearers of the Black Staff."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER</b> <p/> For five hundred years, the survivors of the Great Wars lived peacefully in a valley sanctuary shielded by powerful magic from the dangerous outside world. But the enchanted barriers have crumbled, and the threat of annihilation looms large once more. As he lay dying, Sider Ament, bearer of the last black staff and protector of the valley, gave stewardship of the powerful talisman to the young Tracker Panterra Qu. Now the newly anointed Knight of the Word must take up the battle against evil wherever it threatens: from without, where an army of bloodthirsty Trolls is massing for invasion; and from within, where the Elf king of Arborlon has been murdered, his daughter stands accused, and a heinous conspiracy is poised to subjugate the kingdom. But even these affairs will pale beside the most harrowing menace Panterra is destined to confront--a nameless, merciless agent of darkness on a relentless mission: to claim the last black staff . . . and the life of whoever wields it.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Immensely entertaining . . . a page-turner full of action and magic."--Bookreporter <p/> "Classic Terry Brooks . . . infused with details of Shannara's legends."--Fantasy Faction <p/> "[Brooks is] the most important fantasy writer since J.R.R.
