Edition DescriptionAnniversary
SynopsisFor the first time in one elegant collector's edition hardcover, and featuring an introduction by New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks, here are the first three novels of that classic series: The Sword of Shannara , The Elfstones of Shannara , and The Wishsong of Shannara --the beginning of a phenomenal epic of good and evil. The Sword of Shannara 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. The Elfstones of Shannara The magical Ellcrys tree is dying, loosening the spell that bars the Demons from enacting vengeance upon the land. Now Wil Ohmsford must guard the Elven girl Amberle on a perilous quest as she carries one of the Ellcrys' seeds to a mysterious place where it can be quickened into a powerful new force. But dark on their trail comes the Reaper, most fearsome of all Demons, aiming to crush their mission at any cost. The Wishsong of Shannara An ancient Evil is stirring to new life, sending its ghastly Mord Wraiths to destroy Mankind. To win through the vile growth that protects this dark force, the Druid Allanon needs Brin Ohmsford--for she alone holds the magic power of the wishsong. Reluctantly Brin joins the Druid on his dangerous journey. But a prophecy foretells doom, as Evil nurses its plans to trap the unsuspecting Brin into a fate far more horrible than death. Thus begins Terry Brooks's thrilling Shannara epic, an unforgettable tale of adventure, magic, and myth.

    Shannara--READ

    Terry Brooks has always been a 'go to' writer. His books, especially the Shannara series are totally amazing. This trilogy is only the beginning of the Shannara adventure and once you start reading, you will find that you want to know what goes on next. He even wrote a trilogy about how Shannara came to past, but that is a number of books down the line!!! I highly recommend the Shannara books as they give an insight on what could be out there and what is actually happening in our world right now. Yes, Brooks gives us insight into our world as we are heading for nuclear war and every nation wants to be ruler, but at what cost?

    Good Book

    This book is too heavy for easy reading. If you're looking to further the adventures of the TV series, as I was, skip this book and go for the individual titles. The publisher crammed too much into one book, making it difficult to hold in bed or the arm chair. Good stories, though, and it is a good value for the price, but too awkward to enjoy.

  • Love this Trilogy!

    This is one of the best trilogies ever. There have been many more to follow, but these three started it off. If you like Fantasy, especially Tolkien, you will LOVE these.
