Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
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.
BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Terry Brooks's The Wards of Faerie.

5By Brooks fanI have read all of Terry's books, some of them multiple times and I never get enough. From Shannara to Measure of magic. I recommend his work to all my friends Terry Brooks is a genius.In true Brooks form once the first page is read the rest must follow.
5By danshoI have not taken the time to complete read a book in years. When I saw that Terry had followed up on his previous series I was not disappointed and read his last two books in the last two weeks. Thanks for the entertainment and God bless. DannyOk book nothing great
2By Trent MartinezI have read most of Terry Brooks work and enjoyed it. But I found this book to be a bit bland.Bearer of the black staff!!!!!!!!!
5By TangommMr Brooks has outdone himself as usual! Awesome, beautiful daring, adventure, unforgettable character, EPIC! Killing me with the end of the book. Cannot wait for the next!A little rushed!
4By L.laura2002Terry Brooks is an awesome and creative author. I love his work but this last novel felt a little rushed and not as detailed in character build. Still worth reading.
