“If Tolkien is the grandfather of modern fantasy, Terry Brooks is its favorite uncle.”-Peter V. “Shannara was one of my favorite fictional worlds growing up, and I look forward to many return trips.”-Karen Russell, author of Swamplandia! Now, as the forces of darkness descend, Wil and Amberle embark on a perilous journey, placing their faith in each other to survive the bloodthirsty terrors that await. The fate of civilization rests upon her shoulders-and the completion of her mission rests upon Wil’s.
Wil is recruited to act as guardian to the Elf girl Amberle, who must venture far to deliver a seed that will help the Forbidding to grow again. But this epic battle seeks him out, for he holds the Elfstones: mysterious protective talismans passed down by his grandfather.
Wil Ohmsford is a healer, not a fighter a man of duty, not great deeds. And only the Chosen can banish the Demons back to their realm. Fearsome, vengeful Demons rage at the boundaries of the world, held at bay by a spell called the Forbidding. In the far future, unbeknown to humankind, an apocalyptic war is brewing.
