On a very hot Fourth of July weekend, two strangers appear in Hopewell, Illinois, in the middle of a bitter steel strike. One, a Demon of the Void, will use the angry steel workers to attain his own terrible ends. The other, a Knight of the Word, dreams about a nightmarish future and spends every waking moment desperately trying to change its course. The fate of the town and, ultimately, of humanity depends on one exceptional 14-year-old girl, the only one who can see the otherworldly creatures that have begun to invade her home town.

When the world was young, and its name was Faerie, the power of magic ruled - and the Elfstones warded the race of Elves and their lands, keeping evil at bay. But when an Elven girl fell hopelessly in love with a Darkling boy of the Void, he carried away more than her heart. Thousands of years later, tumultuous times are upon the world now known as the Four Lands. Users of magic are in conflict with proponents of science. Elves have distanced their society from the other races. The Druid order is threatened.

But after he purchased it, Ben Holiday learned that there were a few details the ad had failed to mention. The kingdom was in ruin. The Barons refused to recognize a king, and the peasants were without hope. A dragon was laying waste the countryside, while an evil witch plotted to destroy everything.

Publisher's Summary
In a sleepy steel-mill town, the ultimate battle between Good and Evil is about to begin....
Sinnissippi Park, in Hopewell, Illinois, has long hidden a mysterious evil, locked away from humankind by powers greater than most could even imagine. But now the malevolent creatures that normally skulk in the shadows of the park grow bolder, and old secrets hint at a violent explosion.
The brewing conflict draws John Ross to Hopewell. A Knight of the Word, Ross is plagued by nightmares that tell him someone evil is coming to unleash an ancient horror upon the world. Caught between them is 14-year-old Nest Freemark, who senses that something is terribly wrong but has not yet learned to wield the budding power that sets her apart from her friends.
Now the future of humanity depends upon a man haunted by his dreams and a gifted young girl - two souls who will discover what survives when hope and innocence are shattered forever....

Great tale, brings me back to my youth
I remember reading the Sword of Shannara trilogy when I was young and enjoying it immensely, even though the initial novel reminded me a lot of Tolkien. Picked up this book recently and was immediately pulled back into the heady days of the summers of my youth. A great blend of characters, settings, small towns, good versus evil and make believe "magic". George Wilson's narration is excellent, bringing the characters to life and making the story sound believable. Five stars.

really superb piece of writing
This is really enjoyable portrayal of small town USA beautifully crafted in which fantasy and magic is so carefully woven as to make it real. it has none of the otherworldliness of off world fantasy but more the realm that lies fleeting in the corner of your eye, things that go bump in the night or that feeling that makes your hackles rise. if you love the gentle cadence of books like to kill a mocking bird then you will love this. finally there is a nostalgia for a saner time than we have now and a reflection that the demons are perhaps on the ascendancy and we have lost our way.

Since the death of the Druid Allanon, the Four Lands have changed profoundly, with magic strictly forbidden in the Southland, now under totalitarian rule. Yet Par still has some power of the Wishsong. A message from Allanon arrives: venture to the dread Hadeshorn, along with the other Scions of Shannara. For in the future, all life in the Four Lands will be destroyed. To prevent this terrible fate, Allanon commands Par to recover the long-lost Sword of Shannara, a task that is next to impossible.
