Series
A Shannara Trilogy Prequel
Terry Brooks · 1 novel · 1996
Terry Brooks' First King of Shannara serves as the origin story for his entire Shannara series, following the outcast Druid Bremen as he discovers that the Warlock Lord, believed destroyed generations earlier, has returned with greater power than before. Bremen and his allies race to forge the Sword of Shannara - a weapon drawing its power from absolute truth - while Bremen's chosen successor, the young druid who will become Allanon, steps into the role that shapes the rest of the saga. Despite its name, it is a single novel that precedes The Sword of Shannara rather than a trilogy.
