The annotated Sword of Shannara

Brooks, Terry. (Author). Hildebrandt, Greg. (Illustrator). Hildebrandt, Tim. (Illustrator).

Summary: Long ago, wars ravaged the world. In peaceful Shady Vale, half-elfin Shea Ohmsford knows little of such troubles. Then the giant, forbidding Allanon reveals the supposedly dead Warlock Lord is plotting to destroy everything in his wake. The sole weapon against this Power of Darkness is the Sword of Shannara, which can be used only by a true heir of Shannara. On Shea, last of the bloodline, rests the hope of all the races. Now comes a fully annotated collector's edition of the novel that started it all, featuring never-before-shared insights into the tale, an all-new introduction by the author, and replicas of the original sketches for some of the long-lost, black-and-white paintings by the Brothers Hildebrandt that decorated the original edition, and a replica of the original Hildebrandt central color plate on the back of the jacket.
