About this book

The prequel to the classic Shannara series, the tale that redrew the boundaries of modern fantasy. After the terrible misuse of magic during the First War of the Races, the Druids at Paranor devoted themselves to the study of the ols sciences. But forces were on the move from the Northlands, and at the heart of the evil tide was an archmage and Druid named Brona. One Man uderstood that if the peoples of the Four Lands were to escape eternal subjugation they would need to unite. But even united, they would need a weapon - something so powerful that the evil magic of Brona, the Warlock Lord, would fail before its might. And thus was forged the Sword of Shannara.
