Hawk,
a young man imbued with magic more powerful than has ever been seen before,
leads a ragtag group of orphans and their caretakers in search of a place where
they will be safe from the last devastation that will annihilate what is left
of the world. Joining them is a young Elf who carries the responsibility for
the entirety of his race, and two Knights of the Word, people drawn from the
race of men to protect the ones who will make a difference in the battle
between light and darkness. Against them stands a demon so powerful that it
will take all their combined abilities to defeat him and the army of monsters
that he has amassed.
This
is the last book in the trilogy of the Genesis of Shannara, the prelude to the
world Terry Brooks first created in his sensational first novel, The Sword of
Shannara. Now we learn how the world of Shannara came to be, the forces that
shaped it, and the world that it was born from. This brings all the main
characters from the first two books in this trilogy together for one last
battle to see who will survive and who will be destroyed. A battle that will be
decided, not by armies, but by the power of one boy who is not even sure what
he is or is meant to be. One of Brooks’s best, this is a great read.
