The Wishsong of Shannara

In a brilliant fantasy of magic and high adventure, Terry Brooks brings us the conclusion of his epic trilogy that began with the Sword of Shannara.

Horror stalks the Four Lands as the Ildatch, ancient source of evil, stirs to new life. Once, it sought dominion through the Warlock Lord and his dreaded Skull Bearers; now, it sends out the ghastly Mord'Wraiths to create war and destroy humankind.

And again, Allanon, legendary Druid protector of the races, has to seek aid from a descendant of the Elven king Shannara. Brin, daughter of Wil Ohmsford, holds the magic power of the wishsong. To her, it is only something make plants bloom or turn trees from summer green to autumn gold. But to Allanon, it is the only means to penetrate the vile growth that protects the Ildatch, so she reluctantly joins the Druid on his perilous journey.

Behind, her younger brother, Jair, is soon kidnapped by gnomes. And even once free, he learns from the mysterious King of the Silver River that Brin is doomed to fail and die-unless Jair can somehow reach her in time.

With a strange band of companions, Jair sets out through the very heart of evil, where death threatens at every step. And ahead, the Ildatch waits, nursing its plans to trap Brin into a fate far worse than death.
