After more than three decades of captivating epic fantasy readers, the
storytelling magic ofNew York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks's
Shannara saga continues to enthrall. Now the fascinating chronicle of
Shannara's prehistory reaches a thrilling new peak in the sequel toBearers
of the Black Staff.

For five hundred years, the survivors of the Great Wars lived peacefully
in a valley sanctuary shielded by powerful magic from the blighted and
dangerous outside world. But the enchanted barriers have crumbled, the
borders have been breached by predators, and the threat of annihilation
looms large once more. Sider Ament, bearer of the last black staff and
its profound power, devoted his life to protecting the valley and its
inhabitants - and, in his final moments, gave stewardship of the black
staff 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, Princess Phryne Amarantyne, stands accused, and a heinous
conspiracy is poised to subjugate the kingdom. But even these will pale
beside the most harrowing menace Panterra is destined to confront -
a nameless, merciless figure who wanders the devastated land on
a relentless mission: to claim the last black staff ... and the life
of he who wields it.
