Following The Black Elfstone, The Skaar Invasion
is the second book of the epic four-part conclusion to
the Shannara series from one of the acknowledged masters of
the fantasy genre.
The Four Lands are under siege. Wielding a magical ability
virtually impossible to combat, mysterious invaders defeat
the most fearsome Troll armies, then focus their savagery on
the Druid order—and all hope seems lost.
Eventually the invaders reveal a more human face, but
understanding their motives in no way mitigates the
brutality of their actions. Dar Leah, once the High Druid’s
Blade, has crossed paths—and swords—with their ruthless
leader before. So he knows that if any hope exists, it rests
in the hands of the Druid Drisker Arc, now trapped inside
vanished Paranor.
As Drisker races to find the ancient knowledge that could
free him, Dar goes in search of Tarsha Kaynin, the young
woman blessed with the powerful gift of the wishsong, whose
magic could draw Drisker back into the world of the living.
But little do they know that what appeared to be a
formidable invading force may only be the forerunner of a
much larger army—one intent on nothing less than total conquest.
