Publisher's Summary
From New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks comes a thrilling
standalone novel in his legendary Shannara series - the perfect place
for new listeners to begin.
After taking up his enchanted sword against the dark sorcerer Arcannen,
Paxon Leah has become the sworn protector of the Druid order. Now a
critical hour is at hand, as a beloved High Druid nears the end of her
reign and prepares to pass from the mortal world to the one beyond.
There is little time for Paxon to mourn his friend and benefactor before
duty summons him. For in a distant corner of the Four Lands, the magic
of the wishsong has been detected. Paxon must accompany a Druid emissary
to find its source - and ensure the formidable power is not wielded
by the wrong hands.
But danger is already afoot in the village of Portlow. Gentle traveling
minstrel Reyn Frosch possesses the uncanny gift, and curse, of the wishsong.
And now his coveted abilities have captured the malevolent interest
of none other than Arcannen - whose quest for power is exceeded only
by his thirst for vengeance. The lone survivor of a brutal assault on
a notorious pirate city, the sorcerer is determined to retaliate against
the Federation's elite military guard - and use the devastating power
of the wishsong as his ultimate weapon.
