The Stiehl Assassin Audiobook

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • After The Black Elfstone and The Skaar Invasion comes the penultimate volume in the Fall of Shannara, a saga more than four decades in the making. The Skaar have arrived in the Four Lands, determined to stop at nothing less than all-out conquest. They badly need a new home, but peaceful coexistence is not a concept they have ever understood. An advance force under the command of the mercurial princess Ajin has already established a foothold, but now the full Skaar army is on the march—and woe betide any who stand in its way. But perhaps the Skaar victory is not quite the foregone conclusion everyone assumes. The Druid Drisker Arc has freed both himself and Paranor from their involuntary exile. Drisker’s student, Tarsha Kaynin, has been reunited with Dar, chief defender of what is left of the Druid order, and is learning to control her powerful wishsong magic. If they can only survive Tarsha’s brother, Tavo, and the Druid who betrayed Drisker Arc, they might stand a chance of defeating the Skaar. But that is a very big if . . . as Tavo now carries the Stiehl—one of the most powerful weapons in all the Four Lands—and is hellbent on taking his revenge on everyone he feels has wronged him.

“Simon Vance is no stranger to the narration of the Shannara series…Vance had to add very few characters to his library of Shannara familiars from the previous audiobook…The Skaar army is on the march, and Vance has plenty of opportunities to create suspense and intrigue as they meet resistance. In typical Vance style, he picks up with no interruption from the prior story and keeps the momentum going to the last breath. A solid pace is an important feature of his narration—particularly in dialogue, but also in explanatory passages—which helps keep listeners engaged.”
