The Sword of Shannara
by Terry Brooks

Summary

The first book in Terry Brooks' classic, bestselling Shannara fantasy series. Mankind has risen from the ashes of the Great Wars where science has destroyed the former world. Magic has now replaced science as the means to discover knowledge and acquire power. The Shannara family line is called on by the mysterious Druids of Paranor to combat the evil that arises to swallow the Four Lands in darkness.

Half-elfin Shea Ohmsford knows little of the troubles that plague the rest of the world - until the Power of Darkness casts its shadow even into his peaceful Shady Vale. The sole weapon against this Power of Darkness is the Sword of Shannara, which can be used only by a true heir of Shannara. On Shea, last of the bloodline, now rests the hope of all the races. Thus begins the enthralling Shannara epic, a spellbinding tale of adventure, magic, and myth.

An epic fantasy of gnomes, trolls, dwarfs, elves and a simple man, pitted against the greatest power of evil the world has ever known. High adventure of the first order.
