Publisher Description

Dark magic has opened a gateway to the Forbidding and trapped within it Grianne Ohmsford, rightful High Druid of Shannara. Rescuing Grianne will be merely the beginning of the effort to return the Four Lands to some semblance of peace. Only her young nephew, Penderrin, has any hope of returning her to power. But to breach the Forbidding and bring Grianne back to the natural world, Pen must find the fabled Tanequil . . . and the talisman it alone can provide. That means journeying into the Inkrim–a dreaded region thick with shadows and haunted by harrowing legends. And there, Pen will strike a bargain more dire than he could ever imagine.

"Book #21 of 2008. The latest read in the Shannara series holds true to form. A great escape that swept me away for a weekend. The Rock Trolls are great. It got a little sappy with the latest Ohmsford, Pen, and the blind Rover girl, Cinnaminson in one spot, but generally you get at least one super-sappy spot in each trilogy in the series. Evil forces are out to do the unthinkable, something that will destroy life as the people of the Four Lands know it - and you really feel the impact of how terrible that can be."

    " I've always enjoyed visiting Shannara, and this is no exception. This trilogy, The High Druid of Shannara, could be read without reading any of the preceding Shannara books, but Brooks has nicely tied the entire Shannara series together and it's like visiting with old friends while meeting new ones.

    " I liked this one better than the last, since things seem to be picking up and things are actually happening in it. Unlike it felt through much of the first. I still wonder if only Brooks' notoriety made this a trilogy. So far, I wonder if it wouldn't have been a much better story cut down to one or two books. I guess I'll have a better opinion after the third book, but so much so far has seemed fairly... pointless, just stretching things out for no particular reason. But, it's still Terry Brooks and even at his lesser works, he's still better than many others. "

    " The Tanequil was excellent, of course, and got me all anxious for the next book. Brooks splits his books up like other authors would split up parts of books, so you're always left hanging from the last book, waiting for the next. Great fantasy read! "

    " I love how Brooks has all these little mini-series in his great big Shannara series. I kind of wish I'd read the mini-series right before this High Druid series, because then I'd remember everything about the Ilse Witch, but they can stand apart just fine. "

    " Very good. Bek next generation with Grianne captured. I love the other world that we see creatures from in The Elfstones of Shannara, and how you actually get to visit it this time, in this series of three books. Good good. "
