Publisher Description

In the exciting conclusion of the Heritage of Shannara series, the descendants of the Elven House have completed their quests...but their work is not yet done. They still must escape the traps set by Rimmer Dall, leader of the Shadowen, and unify their efforts in order to bring him to his final end. Dall manages to take the Sword of Shannara from Par and confuse Par into believing his destiny is to become a Shadowen himself. The scions of Shannara must overcome all of these obstacles in order to free the Four Lands forever.

"A fitting close to the quartet that is the "Heritage of Shannara". Once again, Brooks characterizations are among the best in the epic fantasy tradition. Walker Boh becomes fully realized as the inheritor of Allanon's powers as a druid, Wren Ohmsford fully steps into her role as the Queen of the Elves, Par and Coll Ohmsford are reunited as brothers, and the entire group confronts the looming evil of Rimmer Dall and the hordes of shadowen plaguing the Four Lands. Looking forward to hitting the next trilogy in the series, "Voyage of the Jerle Shannara.""

    " This book was incredible! The last book of the Heritage of Shannara, it fulfilled the whole series and provided a satisfying end! It is an amazing work of fiction and I was engaged every step of the way! I finished it very quickly because I simply could not wait to find out what happened next! I would highly recommend this book and the three before it to others! "

    " I loved the way this series started and ended. I did feel like the middle two books dragged a bit. I like introspection as much as the next person, but faaaaaaaar too much in books 2 and 3. "

    " I strongly believe terry Brooks is the one who started my love for fantasy, and with this book nonetheless. i read it for the first time in middle school (possibly even 4th grade to be honest) and after that i found all the Shannara books i could as well as my love for reading. "

    " Shady Vale is the perfect starting point for the beginning of adventure. The Ohmsford's and the druids are our last line of defense against a plot to destroy the world. I love the way Brooks blends fantasy and modern sci-fi into his environments. This is a great series. "
