He tells young Par Ohmsford, whose magic is the wishsong, to find the lost Sword of Shannara Par's uncle, the highly magical but reluctant Walker Boh, to restore long-vanished Paranor and its Druids and free-spirit Wren Ohmsford to locate and retrieve the long-vanished Elves. So, up rises the ghost of the powerful Druid, Allanon (no, he's not a problem drinker) with sage advice on What Must Be Done. The world is now threatened by: the Federation, which is slowly exerting political and military control, and repressing the peoples and: the evil, nasty-ugly Shadowen-they're made of warped, remaindered bits of magic and absorb their victims by osmosis. ![]() ![]() Brooks takes another stab at the not-so-hot Shannara wimp-magic fantasy conveyor-belt (most recently, The Wishsong of Shannara, 1985) with this first of a new series called The Heritage of Shannara-just in case you hadn't guessed.
