The Measure of the Magic is a fantasy novel written by Terry Brooks. It is the second book in the *Legends of Shannara* duology, which serves as a prequel to Brooks’ long-running *Shannara* series. The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic world known as the Four Lands, where magic and technology coexist.

The novel follows the adventures of two young protagonists, Panterra Qu and Prue Liss. Panterra is a former slave who possesses a rare ability to use magic, while Prue is a street urchin with a mysterious past. Together, they embark on a dangerous quest to save their world from an ancient evil known as the Void.

The Measure of the Magic begins with Panterra Qu being chosen by the Druids to undertake a perilous mission. He must retrieve the magical Black Elfstone from its hiding place and bring it back to Paranor, the Druid’s stronghold. The Black Elfstone is said to possess immense power and could be used to either save or destroy the Four Lands.

Meanwhile, Prue Liss finds herself caught up in her own adventure when she stumbles upon a group of survivors from a destroyed city. Among them is Cinnaminson, a young girl with magical abilities similar to Panterra’s. Together, they join forces and set out on a journey to find safety and answers.

As Panterra and Prue’s paths converge, they encounter various obstacles and enemies along the way. They must navigate treacherous landscapes, battle dangerous creatures, and confront their own inner demons. Throughout their journey, they learn valuable lessons about friendship, courage, and sacrifice.

The Measure of the Magic delves into themes such as the balance between magic and science, the consequences of power, and the importance of hope in dark times. It explores the origins of the Shannara universe and provides insight into key events that shape the future of the series.

In typical Terry Brooks fashion, the novel is filled with vivid descriptions, intricate world-building, and compelling characters. The author’s storytelling prowess shines through as he weaves a complex narrative that keeps readers engaged from start to finish. The Measure of the Magic is a worthy addition to the *Shannara* series and a must-read for fans of epic fantasy.

After more than three decades of capturing epic fantasy audiences, the storytelling magic of New York Times bestselling author Shannara saga by Terry Brooks continues to fascinate. Now, Shannara’s gripping prehistoric chronicle has reached a thrilling new height in the Bearers of the Black Staff sequel.

For 500 years, the survivors of the Great Wars lived in a valley sanctuary protected by powerful magic from the dangerous and cruel outside world. But enchanting barriers have fallen, borders have been breached by predators, and the threat of destruction looms large once again. Sider Ament, bearer of the last black scepter and its deep power, devoted his life to protecting the valley and its inhabitants—and, in his final moments, he gave the black staff to the young tracker Panterra Qu.

Now, the newly anointed Knight of the Word must join the battle against evil wherever it threatens: from outside, where an army of bloodthirsty demons is gathering to invade; and from within, where the Elf king of Arborlon has been murdered, his daughter, Princess Phryne Amarantyne, is accused, and a cruel plot is poised to subjugate the kingdom.
