Building on his phenomenal success with the Legends of Shannara series, Brooks launches a new trilogy that returns to the Four Lands a hundred years later. A young Druid finds a clue to the location of elfstones that have been missing for centuries. Rosalyn Landor tells the story as if she has a rapt audience sitting directly in front of her. She has an easy familiarity with the characters and reflects a genuine interest in their quest and a sense of wonder at the challenges they face. Further, LandorÕs presentation of dialogue is infused with energy and emotion. For newcomers to this world, this book provides a meaningful portal.

A standout performance from narrator Rosalyn Landor brings to life this new installment in Brooks's popular fantasy series. Set immediately after the High Druid of Shannara trilogy, Elf-turned-Druid Aphenglow Elessedil discovers an ancient diary that documents the theft of the magical Elfstones. Meanwhile, evil Prime Minister Drust Chazhul works to destroy the Druids, who are responsible for preserving the world's magic. Landor ably infuses the text with emotion and magic and creates unique and convincing voices for all the characters, both male and female. And as the story alternates between expository and actions scenes, Landor doesn't miss a beat, matching her tone and volume to the story's needs. A Del Ray hardcover. (Aug.)
