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.

he did it again...
Great story. I read this one quick, it was good. Terry is the Master for all times.
Classic Brooks!
True to form, Terry’s love for the world of Shannarah is carried forward like a beacon in the night. Who would’ve thought?...Terry did!
A little rushed!
Terry 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.
