THE SKAAR INVASION The Fall of Shannara, Book 2

Narrator Simon Vance's deliberate pacing of Terry Brooks's fantasy saga guides listeners through escalating events as the Fall of Shannara tetralogy continues. Major players, distinctly characterized with tonal variations and slight accents, strategize their next moves in the struggle for Shannara's fate. Ajin d'Amphere, brilliant warrior princess, manipulates the tenuous peace in the Four Lands. Assaults on her leadership complicate plans for a new homeland. Dar Leah enlists a longtime friend in tracking down apprentice Tarsha Kaynin; her quest to rescue her brother from a magical madness results in dire consequences. Trapped inside a vanished tower, Drisker Arc battles treachery involving the future of magic. Vance's performance amplifies the impact of Brooks's cliff-hanger ending.
