Title & Release Date For Book 2 of The Fall of Shannara
The Black Elfstone published in June to acclaim and bittersweet emotion.
Because it is the first book in the chronological-ending four-volume series titled The Fall of Shannara. That’s right, it is the beginning of the end for the fantasy series that has spanned forty years of writing for Terry Brooks.
That beginning continues next year in The Skaar Invasion, Book 2 of The Fall of Shannara. The second book takes the events at the end of The Black Elfstone and ramps up the conflict and the act...

Poll: Do You Like The Cover For The Limited Edition of Elfstones?
Here is the cover for The Elfstones of Shannara Limited Edition from Grim Oak Press!
Artist Marc Simonetti has been hard at work on the interior illustrations for the epic fantasy masterpiece, creating beautiful renditions of Wil, Amberle, Allanon, and the other great characters of that novel. I am going to request he does two more for the book to bring the number of illustrations up to the number I eventually did in The Sword of Shannara. Things are moving along quite well and I think we can...

Poll: How Old Were You When You First Read Terry Brooks?
It’s time for a new poll!
When I was 13 years old, my mother brought home a beat-up copy of The Sword of Shannara, a recommendation from one of the girls at her work. And guess who grabbed it first?
Almost thirty years late, I still read Terry Brooks. My mother did until she passed away last year. His work has always been there — through good times and bad — and every once in a while I think back to that 13 year old and how lucky he was to have a mother that encouraged reading.
It got me thi...
