Book Description for The Black Elfstone

Publishing: June 13, 2017Last month, Entertainment Weekly revealed the cover for The Black Elfstone in an interview with Terry about the chronological end of the Shannara series.

But details about the four-book series titled The Fall of Shannara were largely absent. Sure, The Black Elfstone is the first book in a four-book set that chronicles the end of the Shannara timeline. But what is it about? Who are the major characters in the book? What threat has entered the Four Lands? I received num...

But the fact that he had lived for so long after being given only a few months lent him an aura of immortality I readily embraced in my hopes for a miracle recovery. Even in the worst of it, Stuart always seemed as if he were indestructible. I just wasn’t ready to a...
