The final entry in the Terry Brooks' long-running Shannara series, Defenders of Shannara is a loosely-connected trilogy of novels, set 100 years after the end of Dark Legacy of Shannara. Unlike previous entries in the series, which have followed the same protagonists from start to finish, Defenders features a different protagonist in each book, with the overarching narrative held together by the trilogy's Big Bad, Arcannen.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The first novel, The High Druid's Blade was released in July of 2014. It follows Paxon Leah, the current heir to the Sword of Leah. Unlike his ancestors, Paxon isn't a prince, or even a nobleman—he's an airship freighter who is barely holding his family together. When Arcannen kidnaps his younger sister, Chrysallin, and demands the Sword of Leah in return, Paxon is forced to take up the mystic blade to save her, in the process, drawing the attention of the Druid Order. Recruited by current High Druid, Aphenglow Elessedil, Paxon finds himself serving as High Druid's Blade, protecting the members of the Druid Order from the evils that stalk the Four Lands. Arcannen isn't done with Paxon or Chrysallin though, and when he makes his move against them, Paxon will find himself fighting for his life.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Absurd Cutting Power: The Sword of Leah is one example. The Stiehl, a knife which can cut through anything, and which was once owned by Psycho for Hire Pe Ell makes a reappearance her as well. | |

Break the Cutie | |
| The Defenders of Shannara / int_4b316d47 | comment |
Break the Cutie: Arcannen's plan in High Druid's Blade actually hinges on this. His goal is to have Mischa leave Chrysallin Leah so shattered that she'll attack Aphenglow Elessedil when the High Druid tries to help her. Since the illusion Mischa uses to torment Chrys looks like Aphenglow it works, though to Arcannen's annoyance, Aphenglow survives. | |

The Big Bad: Arcannen. He's the one thing all the novels have in common, and in a way the story is about him. | |
