Not all is calm in the world of the Four Lands. The lord of sorcerers Brona, who revealed the secret of immortality with the help of black magic, has already spread his disastrous curtain over the world of the living, and only the legendary sword of the ancient king of Shannara is able to stop him. But the magic sword is given into the hands of only a select few. And it must happen that Shea Ohmsford, a young man from a remote village, suddenly learns that he is the very chosen one who is destined to save all living things from death. And so Shi, along with her sworn brother, the prince of a small mountain kingdom, and the mysterious wanderer Allanon, set off in search of a saving sword... “The Sword of Shannara” is one of the best works in the epic fantasy genre, which was started by the great J. R. R. Tolkien. The book not only brought the author worldwide readership, it became the first sign to pave the way for works in the fantasy genre on the New York Times bestseller lists.
