About this listen

The inspiration for the epic new Shannara Chronicles TV series, the world of Shannara is brimming with untold stories and unexplored territory. Now best-selling author Terry Brooks breaks new ground with a stand-alone adventure sure to thrill devoted listeners and new fans alike.

Blood and magic will collide....

Leofur is the daughter of Arcannen, a power-hungry sorcerer prepared to use the blackest of magic to get what he wants. But she is also devoted to Arcannen's nemesis, Paxon Leah - sworn protector of the Druids who defend the Four Lands against evil. When the Druids are forced to flee, having been framed for a murderous rampage which leaves many dead, Paxon knows that the evil sorcerer Arcannen is behind it.

As the Druids seek sanctuary, Leofur sets out on a perilous quest to thwart her father's desires to destroy them all....

loved it another good one. I found beginning slow but in no time was completely enthralled, as always.

Read the original trilogy when it was first released. My introduction to Science fantasy was like coming home, it resonated with me on so many levels. This series encouraged me to look for more but also spoilt me in regard to quality. Went on to Tolkien from here, clearly another winner. Tried many other sci fantasy authors over the years but for me Tolkien & Brooks are the masters....used to search for anything Terry Brooks for years. Lot of water under the bridge since my last read until I discovered this on Audible last weekend, only to find it as enthralling as I remember... enjoyed the hell out of yet again.

Read the Sword of Shannara in my mid twenties, became so hooked I waited for the arrival of the any more. Recall ringing booksto

Change to the themes and plot style from the first two in this trilogy, and not sure I enjoyed that as much. Very happy to dispose of characters much more so than others stories..

Good but changed plot style
