Description

The Shannara legend lives on in this New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and USA Todaybestselling sequel to Bearers of the Black Staff, set in the prehistory of Shannara.

The Genesis of Shannara trilogy–Armageddon’s Children, The Elves of Cintra, and The Gypsy Morph–charted the fall of our own world into the hands of once-men and demons…and the escape of a few humans, Elves, and others into a remote mountain valley walled in by impenetrable magic. For five hundred years the survivors have lived peacefully. Now the magic that kept them safe for so many centuries has vanished, and thousands of lives are in danger unless two young magic-wielders can stop them.
