The Elfstones of Shannara
Terry Brooks
The next addition in the Sword of Shannara Trilogy Series is a favorite to anyone who reads it. It is on my personal favorites list, and I have finished it for the third time recently. I became determined to summarize this book. This is almost impossibe because it has two story lines that merge, so I will just do an overveiw.
Perspective 1: The Ellcrys, the magical tree which is key to the existance of the Elves, is dying, and the Chosen are dead. The druid Allanon must venture out and seek the aid of young Wil, who is reluctant to help. That reluctance is evidenced when the banished Chosen, Amberle, is added to the group. Together, Wil and Amberle must carry the hope of the Elves with them, the seed of the magic tree. Now, when they have reached their goal and are realising that Allanon has decieved the mortals once again.
Perspective 2: Ander Elessidel is horrified when he is chosen to take over, his brother, who was heir to the throne, is dead, and his father is on the verge of the same. His last hope, the druid Allanon, is weakened and so is the Ellcrys. Ander must overcome his fear and save his people against the demons, or another reign of terror will fall over the Four Lands.
READ THIS! Its peculiar, spontaneous, and of course, it's ReMaRkAbLe!
