Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Since the death of the Druid Allanon, the Four Lands have changed profoundly, with magic strictly forbidden in the Southland, now under totalitarian rule. Yet Par still has some power of the Wishsong. When he accidently brings a mythic horror to life, a man calling himself Cogline drives it away. Cogline brings a message from Allanon: venture to the dread Hadeshorn, along with the other Scions of Shannara. For in the future, all life in the Four Lands will be destroyed. To prevent this terrible fate, Allanon commands Par to recover the long-lost Sword of Shannara, a task that is next to impossible. Thus continues the enthralling Shannara epic, a spellbinding tale of adventure, magic, and myth. . . .

" glad to be reading Terry Brooks again. "

" A set up for the rest of the series, it rehashes everything from the previous books and reads slightly formulaic. "
— Allison, 1/3/2011 -
" the character development is somewhat better than the original series, but there are some serious issues with the plot - like wasting hundreds of pages on whether or not the story will ever get started. could have used a heavier editorial hand, but this did the job of light plane reading. "
