In the latest Shannara trilogy, New York Times bestselling author
Terry Brooks revisits one of the most popular eras in the legendary
epic fantasy series that has spellbound readers for more than three
decades. A perfect jumping-off point for new readers that’s sure to
delight dedicated fans, the entire Dark Legacy Shannara adventure is
now available in one thrilling eBook bundle: WARDS OF FAERIE
BLOODFIRE QUEST WITCH WRAITH Also includes the Paladins of Shannara
short stories: “Allanon’s Quest,” “The Weapons Master’s
Choice,” and “The Black Irix”! When the world was young, the
power of magic ruled—and the Elfstones warded the race of Elves and
their lands, keeping evil at bay. But when an Elven girl fell
hopelessly in love with a Darkling boy of the Void, he carried away
more than her heart. Thousands of years later, tumultuous times are
upon the world now known as the Four Lands. Users of magic are in
conflict with proponents of science. Elves have distanced their
society from the other races. The dwindling Druid order and its
teachings are threatened with extinction. A sinister politician has
used treachery and murder to rise as prime minister of the mighty
Federation. Meanwhile, poring through a long-forgotten diary, the
young Druid Aphenglow Elessedil has stumbled upon the secret account
of an Elven girl’s heartbreak and the shocking truth about the
vanished Elfstones. But never has a little knowledge been so very
dangerous—as Aphenglow quickly learns when she’s set upon by
assassins. Yet there can be no turning back from the road to which
fate has steered her. Whoever captures the Elfstones and their untold
powers will surely hold the advantage in the devastating clash to
come. But when the Druids mount an expedition to locate the missing
stones, they quickly discover there may be even more at stake than
they ever expected. Praise for The Dark Legacy of Shannara
