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.

The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. Included on the recording are several shorter works. The Ainulindalë is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabêth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Númenor at the end of the Second Age, and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age.

On the run from an old romantic interest who won't take no for an answer, Rhapsody literally bumps into a couple of shady characters: half breeds who come to her rescue in the nick of time. Only the rescue turns into an abduction, and Rhapsody soon finds herself dragged along on an epic voyage--one that spans centuries and ranges across a wonder-filled fantasy world.

Long ago the gods chose a great hero to act as their agent in the mortal world and to stand against the demonic spawn of Chaos. The gods gifted their champion, Daemron, with three magical Talismans: a sword, a ring, and a crown. But the awesome power at his command corrupted Daemron, turning him from savior to destroyer. Filled with pride, he dared to challenge the gods themselves. Siding with the Chaos spawn, Daemron waged a titanic battle against the Immortals. In the end, Daemron was defeated, the Talismans were lost, and Chaos was sealed off behind the Legacy - a magical barrier the gods sacrificed themselves to create.

Landover was a genuine magic kingdom, with fairy folk and wizardry, just as the advertisement has promised. 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.

A Beautiful Story for the Ages
It is a story I first read as a teenager. Now, like Allanon, youth has flown from me and I find that I love this story even more with the second reading.

interesting
This story was very interesting, very captivating, and at times very slow. You switch between two main sequences of events, and the flow is easy to follow. But the last quarter of the book drug on and on. I will say, Scott Brick CARRIED this story and made it something I wanted to finish even when my attention had wavered. He did great character voices, and made the battle scenes easy to follow.

Another great tale
Another great tale by Brooks. Sad and surprising ending that neatly wraps up the story…until the Wishsong…

When sequels are better than the original.
Very well worth the listen. It has a somewhat Tolkienesque formula, without the overtly in depth history lesson. Don't get me wrong, I love the Lord of the Rings series, but I like to enjoy a lighter side of fantasy with a hint of romantic intrigue as well, which this book seems to do well.

The Best
'The Elfstones of Shannara' was the first book that got me interested in fantasy. Being interested in mostly horror this Brooks story was so good I read it three times in a row, back in the 90's. The character arcs are great and the "Reaper" who is the most terrifying of the demons, to me. This is why I got this on audio. I am jumping to "The Scions of Shannara" next. Oh, the performance was top notch.

Great novel, poor performance.
One of my favorite stories. Hated the performance. The performer's accent/voice doesn't work for me.

Another hit for Terry Brooks
Wish it was longer. However, I always do when I finish a good book. The book was a perfect blend of magic and suspense. As usual with Brooks work, I'm totally engrossed in the characters and how relatable they are.
