as Tavo now carries the Stiehl-one of the most powerful weapons in all the Four Lands-and is hellbent on taking his revenge on everyone he feels has wronged him. 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.

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. The Druid Drisker Arc has freed both himself and Paranor from their involuntary exile. But perhaps the Skaar victory is not quite the foregone conclusion everyone assumes. 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. They badly need a new home, but peaceful coexistence is not a concept they have ever understood.

The Skaar have arrived in the Four Lands, determined to stop at nothing less than all-out conquest. 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.
