Every once a while there is an official poll posted on the website to highlight some questions of interest to Terry, the publisher, or the fans. Here is the newest one:

Dark Wraith of Shannara, the graphic novel taking place after the events of The Wishsong of Shannara and Indomitable, will be released on March 25th in all great bookstores and comic bookstores. It is an integral part of Jair Ohmsford's story, one in which the young man will be tested to his limits and whose experiences could drive him to darkness.

This week I will post a letter from Terry about the graphic novel, and a week or two before release I'll be posting 5-10 pages from Dark Wraith. You'll have a chance to see a bit of it before buying it.

Personally, I found the story that Terry wanted to adapt a great one; he went to a place that begged to be gone to and I'd just never thought of it before. As a former reader of the comic book genre, some of the pacing was off in two spots and the artwork ranged from utterly fantastic to "Wow, that panel needed more time." But all in all I am quite pleased with it and what Terry, Robert, and Edwin ended up completing in the end product. I give it a 7/10—a worthy project.

I know Terry really likes it, and he hopes you all do too. He has more plans for graphic novels if this one works out. Time will tell.

The New Poll is: When do you plan on buying Dark Wraith of Shannara?

Terry is writing the last few pages of Book Three in the Genesis of Shannara series. When he is done, he will be left with a completed story and seemingly nothing to do.

So what next? For the last three years, Terry has been thinking about writing a new Landover novel—and that's what he is going to do next. The last Landover novel, Witches' Brew, was published in 1995. It has been 12 or 13 years. That is a long time and Terry is extremely excited to write about Ben, Willow, and the rest of the gang.

What do we know about it? The only thing we know for sure is Terry will be incorporating characters from another world bordering on the Landoverian mists. This from his recent Ask Terry answers.

With Dark Wraith of Shannara coming out in March 2008, I thought talking about its lead-in story is appropriate for this new poll.

Indomitable, the Shannara short story found in the anthology Legends II, is the bridge story between The Wishsong of Shannara and Dark Wraith of Shannara. All three tales feature Jair Ohmsford, Cogline, and Khimber Boh.

So, have you read the epilogue to The Wishsong of Shannara -- have you read Indomitable? If not, are you going to?

Vote: Have you read Indomitable from Legends II?
