THE TALISMANS OF SHANNARA The descendents of the Elven house of Shannara had all completed their quests. Walker Boh had restored the lost Druids Keep, Paranor. Wren had found the missing Elves and was now Queen of the Elves. And Par had found what quite possibly was the legendary Sword of Shannara. But their work was not yet done-the Shadowen still swarmed over the Four Lands, poisoning all with their dark magic. Rimmer Dall, the leader of the Shadowen was determined that the scions of Shannara not share with each other the knowledge that would end the sickness. The charges given by the shade of the Druid Allanon were doomed to fail-unless the Shannara children could escape the traps laid for them, and Par could find a way to use the Sword of Shannara.

Brooks brings his best-selling tetralogy, which began with The Scions of Shannara , to a resounding, action-filled conclusion. The three quests set by the Druid Allanon to save the Four Lands have been fulfilled, but the results are endangered or useless. One of the questers, Shannara scion Par Ohmsford, flees Federation soldiers and Shadowen Seekers with his love, Damson Rhee, only to be hunted by his brother Coll, made mad by the Shadowen leader Rimmer Dall. Par carries the powerful Sword of Shannara but cannot use it; the magic of his wishsong intensifies but becomes increasingly uncontrollable. Walker Boh, Allanon's heir, is trapped inside the restored Druid fortress of Paranor by four powerful Shadowen who have taken the form of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The third quester, Wren Elessedil, now queen of the elves, has brought her people back to the Four Lands, but they face extermination by the Federation. The three searchers must be tempered by disaster, conquer their self-doubts and discover within themselves the true nature of their quest and the means of salvation for their peoples. Cutting from one group to another, Brooks builds tension and suspense, weaving a rich and complex tale. 215,000 first printing. -
