He is saved by Quickening, Elemental daughter of The King of the Silver River, who recruits Walker, Morgan Leah, and a Federation assassin named Pe Ell to help her retrieve the Black Elfstone from Uhl Belk the Stone King, a rival Big Bad. In Druid of Shannara, we shift focus to Walker Boh, who after finally accepting the Call to Adventure, attempted to retrieve the Black Elfstone, needed to revive the Druids, only to be left half-dead from joint attacks by the Asphinx (a snake whose bite petrifies its victims) and Rimmer Dall's Shadowen.
Worst of all, Dall allows Par to escape with the Sword, which he cannot seem to activate, after revealing that the Federation is in fact under Shadowen control. Most of the remainder of the book is spent with Par and Coll, and their friend Morgan Leah, who, with aid from Padishar Creel and the Free-Born, attempt to find the Sword.Īs the book closes, things are looking grim: a traitor enables the Federation to destroy the Free-Born, Coll is captured by First Seeker Rimmer Dall, who convinces Par that he has accidentally slain his brother, and Morgan's magic sword is shattered. He then hands each of them a charge: Par must recover the Sword of Shannara, Wren must find the Elves and convince them to return to the Four Lands, and Walker must bring back Paranor and the Druids. Realising that something has to be done, Allanon's shade sends Cogline, a former Druid, to summon the Heirs of Shannara: Par, Coll, Walker, and Wren. Worse yet, dark magical creatures known as The Shadowen have appeared, their very presence sickening the lands. The Elves have vanished, the Dwarves are enslaved, driven to the edge of extermination, and magic is outlawed. The Southland-based Federation has expanded to include most of the known world. It's been three hundred years since the death of the Druid Allanon, and the Four Lands are barely recognizable. The series opens with Scions of Shannara. The sequel to Terry Brooks's best-selling Sword of Shannara Trilogy, Heritage of Shannara is a quartet of novels that follows the Scions of the Elven House of Shannara as they attempt to save a world that's done its best to outlaw what they are.
