SECRETS REVEALED. POWERS UNLEASHED. A LEGEND IN THE MAKING . . .
It is said that Paxon Leah is descended from the royals and warriors who once waged war with magical weapons. But those heroes are long gone now, and there is nothing enchanted about the antique sword that hangs above Paxon's fireplace.
Little does Paxon know though, that extraordinary circumstances are about to overturn his simple world . . . and rewrite his destiny.

Customer Reviews
High Druids blade
Amazing as always couldn't put the book down can't wait for the next
Slightly disappointing
I am a massive Brooks fan and have read all his books but I have to say I found this one quite disappointing. Possibly the Shannara series is starting to feel tired and even though Brooks has tried to take the narrative in a new direction it still proved very formulaic and predictable. It's price was also pretty steep too.
The high Druids Blade
The worst book I have read from Terry in a long time , I have felt no real empathy for the characters something which has never happened to me before in the Shannara series , not as fast or inspiring as Terry's other books , hope the next one is better
