Summary

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: "Beware, 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?

One of the best in the series so far

At last, Brook's female protagonist has more to her than innocent beauty or petulant sexiness

The best Shannara book?

I have read the first 7 (publication order) Shannara books plus the First King, and this is my favourite. Usually, I greatly enjoy Brooks' novels despite glaring weaknesses in his writing, but here, he does things well that he usually does badly. For example, Wren, Stresa, and to a lesser extent Garth are beautifully drawn characters. The moment of greatest pathos in the novel is pitched perfectly, and I am left moved by it rather than irritated by the melodrama. It's not perfect (Wren's moral dilemma, which is no dilemma at all, gets annoying after a while), and it needs to be read as part of the series to be really enjoyed, but I think that this is peak Terry Brooks. The narration is also excellent.
