Publisher Description
A city besieged by a powerful warlock seeks salvation from a fabled warrior in the second of three gripping new stand-alone eBook short stories set in the world of the fantasy-fiction phenomenon that is Shannara—by beloved New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks.
His extraordinary—and deadly—skills have earned Garet Jax renown and infamy as the man called the Weapons Master. Rootless, solitary, and endlessly sought after, he roams the Four Lands, loyal to none but himself . . . and whomever can afford his services as warrior, assassin, and avenger for hire. But Lyriana is unlike any who have come to him before: as beautiful as she is bold, as enigmatic as the distant city she is desperate to save, and possessed of an intangible, irresistible allure that entices even the hardened Garet Jax more than any amount of gold or silver ever could.
But the challenge she comes bearing may give even the celebrated Weapons Master pause. The remote city of Tajarin, Lyriana’s home, is being laid to waste by an immensely powerful and boundlessly evil warlock of the deadliest order. With the populace enslaved and no champion to stand against the invader, Tajarin will soon be wiped from the map—perhaps only the first city to fall. Whatever hope exists rests in the deft hands, lethal blades, and unerring instincts of Garet Jax. With righteous fury in his blood, and feelings he has never before known in his heart, he will face the most dire of enemies, and dare the blackest of fates, for the mysterious woman at his side—whose deepest secrets have yet to be revealed.

Customer Reviews
Great short story.
I’d really enjoy reading anything about the weapons master. Garet Jax’s would be a best a seller . From his time as youth until his promised fight. Which led to what he’d been seeking his entire life.
So even though it was a short story it was a great story in itself. It stayed to form about the weapons master.
Another great story by Terry Brooks!
I've been reading terry brooks for years and his stories just keep getting better and better. This one adventure about Garet Jax brings back vivid memories of the Sword of Shanara where Garet Jax battles one of the skull bearers. It was very interesting to her about another Garet Jax battle....keep them coming Terry!

Sad. Terry Brooks must need $$ to be producing this drivel. He is better than this. Or was...
