Book 1The Sword of Shannara
by Terry Brooks
Description :
Long ago, the wars of ancient Evil had ruined the world and forced mankind to compete with many other races--gnomes, trolls, dwarfs, and elves. But in peaceful Shady Vale, half-elfin Shea Ohmsford knew little of such troubles.
Then the giant, forbidding Allanon, possessed of strange Druidic powers, to reveal that the supposedly dead Warlock Lord was plotting to destroy the world. The sole weapon against this Power of Darkness was the Sword of Shannara, which could only be used by a true heir of Shannara. On Shea, last of the bloodline, rested the hope of all races.
Soon a Skull Bearer, dread minion of Evil, flew into the Vale, seeking to destroy Shea. To save the Vale, Shea flees, drawing the Skull Bearer after him.

Book 2The Elfstones of Shannara
by Terry Brooks
Description :
Ancient Evil threatens the Elves, for the Ellcrys--the tree created by long-lost Elven magic--is dying, loosing the Spell of Forbidding that bars the hordes of vengeful Demons from the Races of Man.
Allanon, the legendary guardian of the Earth, summons Wil Ohmsford to guard the Elven girl Amberle on a perilous quest as she carries a seed from the Ellcrys to the mysterious Bllodfire, there to be quickened into a new Ellcrys.
Ravening behind them comes the Reaper, most fearsome of all Demons. Against it, Wil has only the Elfstones of Shannara--and has lost all power to control them. Helplessly, he watches the shadow of the Reaper appear on the trail behind them.

Book 3The Wishsong of Shannara
by Terry Brooks
Description :
Horror stalked the Four Lands as the Ildatch, ancient source of Evil, stirred to new life, sending its ghastly Mord Wraiths to destroy Mankind.
To win through the vile growth that protected the Ildatch, the Druid Allanon needed Brin Ohmsford--for she alone could make plants bloom instantly or turn trees from green to autumn gold. Reluctantly Brin joined the Druid on his perilous journey. Then Brin's younger brother Jair learned from the mysterious King of the Silver River that Brin was doomed--unless Jair could reach her in time.
So Jair set out through the very heart of Evil. And ahead, the Ildatch waited, nursing its plans to trap Brin into a fate far more horrible than death.
