Some wear but in good condition, a great book!---------Briefly summarized, The Sword of Shannara is a story of two naðve, young brothers living in a small village in the southernmost region of the world. The story's main character, Shea, meets a huge, foreboding man by the name of Allanon within his family tavern and is hastily warned that his life and those of every mortal on earth are in danger of being destroyed by an invincible force of evil. Without any explanation whatsoever, the mysterious figure disappears into the night, and soon Shea and his brother, Flick, are left to ponder the consequences of AllanonÍs words.

They become apparent, however, later that night when the two young men are attacked by a viscous, black monster bearing skull-like marking all across its body. Shea and Flick are forced to flee northward as Allanon had suggested, running for their lives but not even knowing why. Armed with only their fatherÍs hunting knife, the two brothers set out on a journey that will take them to forgotten kingdoms, ancient tombs, and into the heart of a war between good and evil. Thus begins Brooks' tale of how these two sheltered and ignorant men learn that Shea is the key to saving the entire world from the Warlock Lord; he is the only man on the planet capable of wielding the ancient magical weapon of Elven Kings„the Sword of Shannara„due to a bloodline that has been concealed from him for the entirety of his life. Through unfortunate separations, individual courage, and a massive, bloody war, Shea, his brother, and the friends they meet along their travels all bond together to fight against a magical power they can barely comprehend.
