The First Druids of Shannara

Terry Brooks

Set in the formative age of the Four Lands, this epic fantasy follows Galaphile as he confronts a world emerging from catastrophe and begins the journey that will shape the future of magic and civilization. As ancient powers stir and the fragile remnants of humanity struggle to survive, Galaphile gathers allies and seeks a path between preserving forbidden knowledge and protecting the living. Rich with quests, mythical conflict, and the origins of the Druid order, the novel explores leadership, sacrifice, friendship, and the high cost of wielding power. It offers a sweeping new chapter in the mythology of the Shannara world, told in the classic tradition of grand-scale adventure.
