Riassunto

***50 MILLION TERRY BROOKS COPIES SOLD AROUND THE WORLD***

THE SHANNARA CHRONICLES IS NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES

'Terry's place is at the head of the fantasy world' Philip Pullman

As a Knight of the Word, John Ross has struggled against the tireless dark forces of the Void for twenty-five years. Ross is driven by dreams that show the world reduced to blood and ashes by the Void and its minions. But for all his power, John Ross is only one man, while the demons he battles are legion.

Then Ross learns of the birth of a rare and dangerous creature formed from the very essence of wild magics. If he can discover its secret, the creature will be an invaluable weapon against the Void. But the Void also knows its value, and will not rest until the creature has been corrupted - or destroyed.

Desperate, Ross turns to Nest Freemark, a young woman with magical abilities of her own. And there they prepare to face an evil more ancient and powerful than anything they have ever encountered.

Recensione

Terry's place is at the head of the fantasy world (Philip Pullman)

If you haven't read Terry Brooks, you haven't read fantasy (Christopher Paolini, author of ERAGON)

I would not be writing epic fantasy today if not for Shannara (Peter V. Brett, author of THE PAINTED MAN)

I can't even begin to count how many of Terry Brooks's books I've read (and re-read) over the years (Patrick Rothfuss, author of THE NAME OF THE WIND)

His fans should embrace it as eagerly as they have THE SWORD OF SHANNARA (PUBLISHERS WEEKLY)

By far the best of Terry Brook s' many wonderful novels . . . I couldn't put it down (John Saul)

In 1977, Terry Brooks debut The Sword of Shannara became a surprise bestseller, launching one of the most popular series in all fantasy fiction. Apart from the ongoing Shannara saga and his later "Magic Kingdoms" sequence, Terry Brooks has written the novelisation of Star Wars: Episode 1 The Phantom Menace, and the "Demon" contemporary fantasy trilogy. Following Running With the Demon and A Knight of the Word, Angel Fire East is the finale, and while the books do stand alone there is greater enjoyment to be had by reading trilogy complete. (It is 10 years after the events depicted in the previous volume, and again the world is pitched between the Word and the Void. Over the week leading to Christmas Day John Ross (who in his dreams lives the hellish future struggles to prevent them becoming)
