The Wishsong of ShannaraĪn ancient Evil is stirring to new life, sending its ghastly Mord Wraiths to destroy Mankind. But dark on their trail comes the Reaper, most fearsome of all Demons, aiming to crush their mission at any cost. 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. The magical Ellcrys tree is dying, loosening the spell that bars the Demons from enacting vengeance upon the land. On Shea, last of the bloodline, rests the hope of all the races. The sole weapon against this Power of Darkness is the Sword of Shannara, which can be used only by a true heir of Shannara. But the supposedly dead Warlock Lord is plotting to destroy everything in his wake. In peaceful Shady Vale, half-elfin Shea Ohmsford knows little of such troubles. Long ago, the wars of the ancient Evil ruined the world. Now, for the first time in one elegant collector's edition hardcover, and featuring an introduction by the author, 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. Twenty-five years ago, 'New York Times' bestselling author Terry Brooks wrote a novel that brought to life a dazzling world that would become one of the most popular fantasy epics of all time, beloved by millions of fans around the world.
