About this listen
An ancient evil threatens the Elves and the Races of Man. The Ellcrys, the tree of long-lost Elven magic, is dying, unravelling the spell of Forbidding that locks the hordes of Demons away from the world.
Already the fearsome Reaper is free. Only by quickening a new seed in the mysterious Bloodfire can the Ellcrys be reborn and the Forbidding made whole. Amberle, a young Elven girl, is chosen to undertake the quest for the Bloodfire.
The way is perilous, though. Other demons besides the Reaper stalk the land. Amberle will need a protector if she is to prevail, and Wil Ohmsford, heir to the Elven magics of Shannara, is chosen to accompany her.
Amberle's quest and the fate of the Four Lands will rest on Wil's ability to unlock the magic of the mysterious Elfstones of Shannara.
The Elfstones of Shannara is the second volume of the classic series that has become one of the best loved fantasy tales of all time.

A classic.
Mate, this a great story from when I was growing up. Brilliantly written but Scott Brick as usual nearly put me to sleep. He’s just so monotonous and I loose track of what he’s saying.

Great, this is my favourite book from Terry Brooks
This is an epic novel and I'm glad it was not abridged as it deserves the full 20 hours

love all Terry Brooks books
Scott Black does a great job of narrating this one.
although, since this book was published there been a TV series about it.
Someone should have ensured Eritrea was pronounced the same in all instances.
To this end, narrators and TV show producers should always consult the author to get their idea of pronunciations, before messing it up completely.
I prefer the pronunciation of the TV show for this name.

A very moving and enthralling story
A beautifully crafted story with all the suspense, mystery, action, character development, potent symbolism and grandeur that oozes with Tolkien at his best. I enjoyed the story more the any of Raymond Feist's books which depend heavily upon dualism, sex, sexism and violence.
Each fantasy writer has their own brand blend of fantasy and adventure.
Terry Brooks does excellently with his female heroes without any hint of sexism. A writer for the young and old.
Very well narrated. I combined reading Omnibus alternating with the Audible.
