About this ebook
The complete three-book series
In one handsome collector’s edition hardcover, here are all three novels that comprise Terry Brooks’s bestselling High Druid of Shannara trilogy—Jarka Ruus, Tanequil, and Straken. These thrilling novels demonstrate this acclaimed author’s magic of invention and mastery of storytelling.
Twenty years have passed since Grianne Ohmsford denounced her former life as the dreaded Ilse Witch. Fulfilling the destiny predicted for her, she has established the Third Druid Council and dedicated herself to its goals of peace and defense of the Four Lands. But the intrigue, treachery, and sinister deeds that have haunted Druid history for generations continue to thrive. And despite her devotion to the greater good as Ard Rhys, the High Druid of Paranor, Grianne still has bitter enemies who will stop at nothing to see her deposed—or destroyed.
As wicked plots are hatched, the Ard Rhys suddenly disappears in the dead of night and without a trace. Now, barely a step ahead of the malevolent forces at work, Grianne’s brave nephew, Pen Ohmsford, embarks on a dangerous mission to find and deliver the High Druid of Shannara from wherever she may be held.
With no shortage of adventure, exhilaration, suspense, and enchantment, the High Druid of Shannara trilogy proves why Terry Brooks is one of the most beloved fantasy authors of all time.

If you look at Terry Brooks reviews they are all 4 and 5 stars always. Most people don't know that for the last 15yrs, he has tied all his books into one mega story. So if you either start in chronological order or with his fist book" Sword of Shannara" it doesn't matter. Just starting the journey is what counts. You will not be sorry. Plus the story is just about over for good. He is ending it soon.

The druids order is restored. This trilogy puts you through the struggles of this quest and what waits at the end might just make you cry. Truely epic in scale as always.

Been following Terry Brooks since The Sword of Shannara back in the early 90s. The hardest part of reading Mr. Brooks'trilogies is the waiting for the next novel to to come out. He is truly one of the great masters of the cliffhanger.
