Synopsis
For use in schools and libraries only. Banished from Paranor because of his study of forbidden arcane arts, the Druid Bremen discovers that Brona, the evil Warlock Lord, and his dark forces are once again on the move, destroying everything in their path, and only a powerful weapon wielded by a united Four Lands can stop them., Horrified by the misuse of magic they had witnessed during the First War of the Races, the Druids at Paranor devoted themselves to the study of the old sciences, from the period before the collapse of civilization a thousand years before. Only the Bremen and a few trusted associates still studied the arcane arts. And for his persistence, Bremen found himself outcast, avoided by all but the few free-thinkers among the Druids. But his removal from Paranor was not altogether a terrible thing, for Bremen learned that dark forces were on the move from the Northlands. That seemingly invincible armies of trolls were fast conquering all that lay to their south. That the scouts for the army--and its principal assassins--were Skull Bearers, disfigured and transformed Druids who had fallen prey to the seductions of the magic arts. And that at the heart of the evil tide was an archmage and former Druid named Brona! Using the special skills he had acquired through his own study of Magic, Bremen was able to penetrate the huge camp of the Troll army and learn many of its secrets. And he immediately understood 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...

      Older books in good condition

      I must say it is hard to find out of print books that are in good condition. Of course it's not brand new condition but it's damn good and better than expected well worth it.

      Terry Brooks' Best Novel; A Must Have for Shannara Fans

      First King of Shannara is the perfect book to start the Shannara series, or the perfect book to read halfway through the series. I have read all of Terry Brooks' books, including the Magic Kingdom series (but let's not go there), and First King is my very favorite. I have read it five times so far, and enjoyed it more each time. If you are a fan of the Shannara series, this is the most important book to read as soon as possible. This book answers many questions faithful readers may have about the Shannara series, and gives excellent background information on many of your favorite characters. It also explains in entertaining detail some of the very important events (such as Shannara's failure to properly defeat the Warlock Lord) that were merely glossed over in the other ...

      Nothing better than a fantasy story that just could be true!

      Sometime ago I came across some books in a box I had forgotten about. As I was sorting thru them I noticed 3 paperbacks that were by the same author. "Boy someone likes this gal", I said to myself. Next I noticed the titles, "oh spicy romance novels...yuk". My natural curiousity got me to read the reviews and see what these books were about. As I started to read I quickly found out that you don't judge a book by its cover. Not only were they not romance novels but she was a he Terry Brooks and this was the kinda stuff I love to read. Fantasy stories not too over the top as to be somewhat believable. The first in the 3 book series was "Runnin with the Demon" which after a few pages had me hooked on Terry Brooks. The inside cover listed many other books by him including a Star Wars story. ...

      Don't read this one first...

      Even though this is set before the Sword/Elfstones/Wishsong trilogy, it needs to be read after the Heritage books... Story is soooo good...
