Chapter One: The Black Elfstone
It has been forty years since the publication of The Sword of Shannara.
In all of that time, author Terry Brooks has been writing. A lot. He has written more than two dozen Shannara novels, each one adding to the mythos — filled with memorable characters, powerful magics, and deft storytelling.
Last year, Brooks announced that he would be writing the chronological-end of Shannara. It has all been leading up to a confrontation between magic and science, something Terry has hinted at since 1985...

The Shannara Chronicles Moves To Spike
THE DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD ARTICLE:
Another series is on the move from one Viacom network to another. The upcoming 10-episode second season of MTV’s fantasy drama The Shannara Chronicles will air on Spike TV this fall.
The Shannara Chronicle, based on the best-selling fantasy books by Terry Brooks, debuted on MTV in 2016 and was the network’s highest rated and most watched scripted series of the year, earning a second-season renewal. However, I hear the series’ core audience was more mature with...

BrooksBlog: Remembering Our Daughter Lisa
LisaDear Friends,
Yesterday, we lost our beloved oldest daughter, Lisa, to a particularly virulent and aggressive form of ovarian cancer. She was gone in less than a month from the time of her diagnosis. We were with her every step of the way, believing she would find the strength to pull through. The doctors and nurses at UWMC were kind and caring and did everything they could to save her. But in the end, it was not possible.
Lisa was amazing in so many ways. She loved nature. She cared abou...

Terry Signing Copies of The Black Elfstone
The Black Elfstone publishes June 13th!
The first book in The Fall of Shannara series begins the chronological-end for the Shannara series. It is a story that Terry has had in mind since he finished The Wishsong of Shannara, rooted within the constant conflict between science and magic. The Fall of Shannara will be four books long — similar in scope to The Heritage of Shannara series — and that will be very apparent from the high stakes that are presented in The Black Elfstone.
Sadly, due to...

Poll: What Elfstone or Elfstones Would You Want To Possess?
Let’s say you are Elven.
Let’s say you live in the Four Lands.
Let’s say you have need of magic but have no inherit ability to wield it.
The Elfstones would be for you. And there are different sorts of them. The blue seeking Elfstones. The black magic-negating Elfstone. Even the city-moving Loden is considered one of the Stones. And most recently, Terry introduced the Crimson Elfstones, a set of stones that drain life away from enemies even as it fundamentally — and apparently catatonically —...

Exclusive 40th Anniversary Shannara Shirt Available Only at ECCC
In 1977, Lester del Rey took a chance and published The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks.
We all know how that chance played out by now, I think. The debut book by Brooks would go on to become a New York Times bestseller, a cornerstone of modern epic fantasy. And not only that, but the book would begin one of the longest-running fantasy series of all time, with Brooks writing more than two dozen Shannara novels.
For fans looking to celebrate this year’s 40th anniversary of Terry Brooks’ amaz...
