erry is always working on a new writing project. He begins writing at six o’clock every morning, and during those moments he is not writing, he has one foot in the story. It’s not surprising. It is this work ethic that helps him publish a book every year. He finishes a new book at the same time as the last one is being released, so he is always one book ahead of what the readers have in their hands.
The website receives many questions about what he is publishing next, so this part of the website is devoted to the future—not only concerning the next new book but what Terry’s planning on doing over the next several years.
Everything listed on this page is tentative but it is also what Terry has in mind at this very moment:


- The Measure of the Magic (August 23th)
- High Druid of Shannara Omnibus (October 25th)

- Indomitable Shannara Novella (Spring)
- The Wards of Faerie, Book One of Shannara’s Dark Legacy (September)
- The Annotated Sword of Shannara (November)

- Book Two of Shannara’s Dark Legacy (March)
- Book Three of Shannara’s Dark Legacy (September)

There you have it – from the man himself.
The newest book published by Terry is Measure of the Magic. It was released in August 2011 in the United States and a week later in the UK. The next book to be published is The Wards of Faerie, Book One in the Shannara’s Dark Legacy trilogy. It will be published in August 21, 2012.
He has also finished writing the second book in Shannara’s Dark Legacy that takes place after the events of Straken and which focuses on the search for the lost Elfstones of Faerie!
