Long ago, the wars of the ancient Evil ruined the world. In peaceful Shady Vale, half-elfin Shea Ohmsford knows little of such troubles. But the supposedly dead Warlock Lord is plotting to destroy everything in his wake. 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, rests the hope of all the races.

Entertaining - not so subtly shaped by Tolkien
Reviewed: 08-16-16
Narrator did great with the material. While I do enjoy them - these Terry Brooks stories (and they're all very similar) have always seemed too blatant a copy of Tolkien's stuff with just enough changed to not get in trouble, but not enough changed to feel truly original.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
