Nor any assurance that this desperate quest will not be the Druid’s last. But with agents of darkness closing in from behind, unexpected enemies lying in wait ahead, and treachery encroaching on every side, there can be no certainty of success.

With ever more portents of doom on the horizon, Allanon must seek out the last remaining Shannara heir, who alone will bear the burden of defending the Four Lands’ destiny. All that remains is for a blood descendent of the Elven house of Shannara to carry the blade into battle. And the time is at hand for the Sword of Shannara to once more be brought forth from its sanctuary to serve its ancient purpose. Shea Ohmsford has had quite enough of quests. Now, after hundreds of years, that day seems imminent. Paladins of Shannara: The Black Irix (Short Story) An old friend urges Shea Ohmsford to take a dangerous risk in the concluding story of this gripping Shannara eBook series by New York Times bestselling fantasy master Terry Brooks. The Druid Allanon knows only too well the prophecy passed down to him by his late master: that eventually the Warlock Lord will return. Against him, the Elven King Jerle Shannara wielded the fabled sword that bore his surname and triumphed. The history is thus: The once-Druid Brona, seduced by his pursuit of dark magic, was forever transformed into the Warlock Lord-whose evil would be the downfall of the Four Lands and the death of the Races.

The legendary hero Allanon takes center stage in the first of three gripping new stand-alone eBook short stories set in the world of the fantasy-fiction phenomenon that is Shannara-by beloved New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks.
