Book description
With peace reigning in the Magic Kingdom at last, Ben Holiday is
finally free to lie back and enjoy the finer things in life - like
watching his daughter grow, which she does by leaps and bounds. Born a
seedling and nourished by soil from Landover, Earth and the fairy mists,
Mistaya is a unique child, fully as dazzling as her mother, the sylph,
Willow - but fiery and impatient with those who can't keep up with her
lightning-fast development. But Ben's idyll is not to last. The dark and
pitiless Rydall, king of lands beyond the fairy mists, arrives at the
gates of Sterling Silver. His armies are ready to invade if Ben will not
accept his challenge: to face and defeat seven different champions of
Rydall's choice. And accept he must, for Mistaya has been snatched from
her guardians by foul magic and only Rydall holds the key to her fate. .
. Terry Brooks was a practising attorney for many years, but now
writes full time. His first novel, THE SWORD OF SHANNARA, remained on
the New York Times bestseller list for 5 months. Every one of his novels
that have followed since has been an international bestseller.
