The Elf Queen of Shannara

De: Terry Brooks

Narrado por: John Lee

The third volume of The Heritage of Shannara, which continues one of the most popular fantasy series of all time

“Find the Elves and return them to the world of Men!” the shade of the Druid Allanon had ordered Wren.

It was clearly an impossible task. The Elves had been gone from the Westland for more than a hundred years. There was not even a trace of their former city of Arborlon left to mark their passing. No one in the Esterland knew of them -- except, finally, the Addershag.

The blind old woman had given instructions to find a place on the coast of the Blue Divide, build a fire, and keep it burning for three days. “One will come for you."

Tiger Ty, the Wing Rider, had come on his giant Roc to carry Wren and her friend Garth to the only clear landing site on the island of Morrowindl, where, he said, the Elves might still exist, somewhere in the demon-haunted jungle.

Now she stood within that jungle, remembering the warning of the Addershag: “Beward, Elf-girl. I see danger ahead for you . . . and evil beyond imagining." It had proved all too true.

Wren stood with her single weapon of magic, listening as demons evil beyond all imagining gathered for attack. How long could she resist?

And if, by some miracle, she reached the Elves and could convince them to return, how could they possibly retrace her perilous path to reach the one safe place on the coast?

"If Harry Potter has given you a thirst for fantasy and you have not discovered the magic of Terry Brooks, you are in for a treat."

"If you were delighted and entranced by Michael Ende's The Never Ending Story, you will definitely want to sample one of more of Terry Brooks's books."
--Santa Cruz Sentinel

This entire series was great!

Very action packed! Had me on the edge of my seat the entire time! The descriptions paint a very vivid picture to set the tones of what's happening.

Why the random chapters?

Loved the story. Just don't get why 3 random chapters from Druid were thrown in...

awesome book

I read this series years ago. As good as I remember it and helps pass the time when driving.

Another great book by Terry!

Another great book by Terry! I love this series! I do wish that the narrators would all pronounce the names the same in this series though. Otherwise great!

Terry Brooks and John Lee - what a combination!

Absolutely love this series with the best narrator and brilliant writer! Wish there were more!

Thank you legends!

I love this story

When I first bought this book in the earl 1990's I couldn't put it down. I still love this book and highly recommend it.

Great!

Great story! I was interested the entire time and I was drawn into the story, becoming part of it... becoming one with it.

doesn't disappoint

Terry Brooks did it again. This book is an awesome continuation of the Shannara stories. It is compelling and spellbinding. John Lee brings the characters to life in fascinating ways.

Fun, unique adventure within the world of Shannara

with a different place setting for the most part and some different characters, this is a somewhat unique story amongst the Shannara books. It's not necessarily my favorite Shannara book, but That's stiff competition since this is one of my favorite fantasy worlds and by no means am I saying this isn't a great story. it will take you out of the normal flow of the Four Lands, and give you something different and fun to experience!

overcoming adversity

all the characters had to overcome so many obstacles. and horrible monsters. with strength, character and a bit of magic they all accepted the challenge.
