The inspiration for the epic Spike TV series, the world of Shannara is brimming with untold stories and unexplored territory. Now bestselling author Terry Brooks breaks new ground with a standalone adventure that's sure to thrill veteran readers and recent converts alike. The mysterious, magic-wielding Druid order has existed for long ages, battling any evil that threatens the Four Lands--and struggling to be understood and accepted by outsiders. But their hopes of building goodwill are dashed when a demon's murderous rampage at a peace summit leaves their political opponents dead--casting new suspicions upon the Druids and forcing them to flee from enemies both mortal and monstrous. Paxon Leah, the order's appointed protector, knows that blame lies with Arcannen Rai, the vile sorcerer he has battled and defeated before. But there's no time to hunt his nemesis, if he is to lead the wrongfully accused Druids to their sanctuary. It is a quest fraught with danger, as a furious government agent and his army snap at their heels, and lethal predators stalk them in the depths of the untamed wilderness. But Arcannen is playing a deeper game than Paxon realizes. Paxon's sister possesses a powerful magic that the sorcerer longs to control--but Arcannen has not reckoned with the determination of his own estranged daughter, Leofur, who is also Paxon's devoted lifemate. Leofur sets out on a perilous quest to thwart her father's desires--while the vengeful Arcannen conjures his blackest magical skills, determined to destroy them all . . . and claim the most powerful of magics for his own.

Moonshye - Curtain of the Moon (2021) - nové CD album. Zpěvačka, songwriterka a kytaristka Moonshye tvoří žánrově neuchopitelnou hudbu s prvky folku a world music. Pro její písně je charakteristická rozmanitost hlasového výrazu a atmosféry písní s poetickými texty. Pochází ze Slezska, kde měla vždy blízko k Polsku. Tam také strávila několik let v inspirativním prostředí filmového města Lodž, kde v roce 2017 začala sólově vystupovat. Po návratu do rodných Beskyd pokračuje v koncertování v ČR i v Polsku. Album Curtain of the Moon - to jsou "ptáci, noc, vesmír, voda, vítr….v zahradě lidské duše." Kolekci deseti písní spojuje žánrová neuchopitelnost s prvky world music a alternativního folku, rozmanitost hlasového výrazu, atmosféry písní a hudebních nástrojů. O své inspiraci Moonshye říká: "Ve svých písních hledám krásu lidské duše prostřednictvím symbolů z přírody. Snažím se zachytit její jasné i temné stránky, touhy i momenty povznesení a prozření. Nejlépe to ilustrují dvě skladby: titulní Curtain of the Moon je inspirována měsícem, fascinuje mne jeho proměnlivost a to, že je často jeho krása naším očím ukrytá. Píseň Garden je pak o hledání této skrytosti - toho, co nevidíme. Duše je jako rozmanitá zahrada, po které se můžete procházet, ale také se v ní ztratit. A někdy tam objevíte něco, co vás překvapí." Moonshye na albu kromě zpěvu vystupuje s kytarou, Array mbirou a charangem. Ke spolupráci přizvala několik vynikajících hudebních hostů: multiinstrumentalisty Pavla Šmída - který je zároveň producentem alba - a Joannu Szczęsnowicz, Daniela Šoltise - bicí, Tomáše Lišku - kontrabas, Antonína Fajta - syntezátory, Vladimíra Prouzu - el. kytara, Pavla Cingla - housle, Martina Píro - water calabash a Štěpána Podrazila - činely.
