Book description
Wren Ohmsford, Scion of Shannara, came from the Westlands, where she
lived the life of a Rover. Now she, like her kinsmen, Par and Walker
Boh, has been called upon to help the shade of Allanon fight the
totalitarian power of the Federation. She must find the Elves, who
disappeared from their strongholds more than one hundred years ago...
But even knowledge of the Elves is hard to find - only a blind, wise
woman of the West knows something of their location. On her advice, Wren
and her Rover companion, Garth, journey to the coast of the Blue Divide,
where they build a fire and let it burn for three days. With the
unexpected help that their blaze attracts, they reach the isle of
Morrowindle and near their goal - to find the last of the Elves. But
they also find dangers such as they could not have imagined, and Wren
will make a discovery that will change her life for ever. 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.
