Long ago, wars of the ancient Evil had ruined the world, forcing humankind to compete with many other races: gnomes, trolls, dwarfs & elves. In peaceful Shady Vale, half-elfin Shea Ohmsford knew little of such troubles. Then came giant, forbidding Allanon, possessed of strange Druidic powers, to reveal that the supposedly dead Warlock Lord was plotting to destroy the world. The sole weapon against this Power of Darkness was the Sword of Shannara, which could be used only by a true heir of Shannara. Last of the bloodline, on Shea rested the hopes of all races. Soon a Skull Bearer, dread minion of Evil, flew into the Vale, seeking to destroy him. To save the Vale, he fled, drawing the Skull Bearer after him...Thus began the seemingly hopeless quest of a simple man against the greatest power of evil the world had ever known.
