Long ago, the world of the Four Lands was torn apart by the wars of ancient
Evil. But in the Vale, the half-human, half- elfin Shea Ohmsford now lives in
peace – until the mysterious, forbidding figure of the druid Allanon appears,
to reveal that the supposedly long dead Warlock Lord lives again. Shea must
embark upon the elemental quest to find the only weapon powerful enough to keep
the creatures of darkness at bay: the fabled Sword of Shannara. THE SWORD OF
SHANNARA is the first volume of the classic series that has become one of the
most popular fantasy tales of all time. A masterful work from a master
storyteller.
