Klappentext Hope blooms anew for the Four Lands in this riveting conclusion! not only to the Fall of Shannara series but to the entire Shannara saga-a truly landmark event over forty years in the making! Since he first began the Shannara saga in 1977! Terry Brooks has had a clear idea of how the series should end! and now that moment is at hand. As the Four Lands reels under the Skaar invasion-spearheaded by a warlike people determined to make this land their own-our heroes must decide what they will risk to save the integrity of their home. Even as one group remains to defend the Four Lands! another is undertaking a perilous journey across the sea to the Skaar homeland! carrying with them a new piece of technology that could change the face of the world forever. And yet a third is trapped in a deadly realm from which there may be no escape. Filled with twists and turns and epic feats of derring-do-not untouched by tragedy-this is vintage Terry Brooks! and a fitting end to a saga that has gathered generations of readers into its fold.
