About this ebook
***50 MILLION TERRY BROOKS COPIES SOLD AROUND THE WORLD***
THE SHANNARA CHRONICLES IS NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES
'Terry's place is at the head of the fantasy world' Philip Pullman
SECRETS REVEALED. POWERS UNLEASHED. A LEGEND IN THE MAKING . . .
It is said that Paxon Leah is descended from the royals and warriors who once waged war with magical weapons. But those heroes are long gone now, and there is nothing enchanted about the antique sword that hangs above Paxon's fireplace.
Little does Paxon know though, that extraordinary circumstances are about to overturn his simple world . . . and rewrite his destiny.
Praise for Terry Brooks:
'A master of the craft . . . required reading' Brent Weeks

'I would not be writing epic fantasy today if not for Shannara' Peter V. Brett, author of The Painted Man
'If you haven't read Terry Brooks, you haven't read fantasy' Christopher Paolini, author of Eragon

Why does Terry Brooks skip generations in his series? So he can repeat the same story...read all but the legacy series. Liked them. Thought the post apocalyptic america genesis series was great but this title and I assume the rest of the trilogy as you write it Mr Brooks is just plain lazy!

Another good read by Terry Brooks but a little on the short side at 229 pages.
