Three hundred years have passed since the druid Allanon died. Things in the Four Lands have changed drastically. The Federation of all the lands. They have enslaved the dwarves and are making them work in mines again. The Borderlands are being battled over, bloodshed evrywhere. And the Westland is deserted, the elves have vanished. Amidst all this the shade Allanon by way of Cogline summons the decendents of Jerle Shannara. Among them are Par Ohmsford who has inherited the wishsong. Wren Ohmsford a rover. And Walker Boh, a druid in training. Allanon gives each a task. Par must find the Sword of Shannara. Wren must find the elves and return them to the Four Lands. And Walker Boh must find the Black Elfstone and restore Paranor. Not easy tasks. So begins the Heritage sequence. This book really centers around Par's search for the Sword. With the help of his brother Coll, highlander Morgan Leah, the dwarf Steff, and Freedom Coalition leader Padamon Creel. The Shadowen (the evil in these novels) are not to far behind. And even after the sword is found a terrible tragedy could destroy Par forever.
