Heritage of Shannara

Heritage of Shannara

"The Heritage of Shannara" is a series of four fantasy novels by Terry Brooks, set hundreds of years after the original "Shannara" trilogy. Unlike the original trilogy, however, this series is all one, cohesive story, in contrast to the three isolated stories of the originals. It is set in a future Four Lands in which the Federation of the Southland has driven off the Elves, enslaved the Dwarves, and outlawed magic. Only the rebel Free-born, led by Padishar Creel, dare to resist. The series begins with "The Scions of Shannara", when the Ohmsford descendants are summoned by the shade of Allanon to combat the Shadowen that have been poisoning the land. The story continues with "The Druid of Shannara", "The Elf Queen of Shannara", and concludes with "The Talismans of Shannara".
