Since the death of Druid Allanon, the Four Lands have changed profoundly, with magic banned in Southland, now under dictatorial rule. However, Par still has some of Wishsong’s powers. When he accidentally revives a horror myth, a man calling himself Cogline banishes it. Cogline brings a message from Allanon: venture to the fearsome Hadeshorn, along with Shannara’s other Scions. For in the future, all life in the Four Lands will be destroyed. To prevent this terrible fate, Allanon orders Par to retrieve the long-lost Shannara Sword, a near-impossible task.

The power of the goblin stones is still at work. This time, generations later, it bestowed gifts of elf magic to the descendants of Shannara. And of course, they were once again called upon by Allanon to help save the world from dark magic. This time, they weren’t all eager to join the quest.

I love that they doubt and worry if they’re doing the right thing. While they split into three main groups, we only really see the details of Par and his brother’s quest for the mythical Shannara Sword. It’s been a pretty fun adventure and Terry Brooks has really matured as a writer between the original Shannara series and this series. Things are a little more unpredictable and there are some really interesting scenes that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
