Book description
Horror stalks the Four Lands. The Ildatch, ancient source of evil, has
stirred to life. It sends its foul Mord Wraiths to make war on all
living things and bring about, at last, Mankind's destruction. Once
again Allanon, Druid Protector of the Races, must seek the help of a
descendant of the Elven King, Jerle Shannara. Brin, daughter of Wil
Ohmsford, has been born with the magic of the Wishsong, which alone can
open a way to the Ildatch. Reluctantly, she joins Allanon on his
perilous journey east. Meanwhile her younger brother, Jair, learns that
Brin will fail and die unless he can reach her in time. As Brin walks
blindly into the trap the Ildatch has set, Jair's only hope of reaching
her in time is to travel through the very heart of evil... THE WISHSONG
OF SHANNARA is the third volume of the classic series that set the
standard for modern fantasy. A timeless work from a master storyteller.
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 the 23 novels that
have followed has been an international bestseller.
