The second in Terry Brooks' landmark new series linking the worlds of Shannara and The Word and The Void
Fifty years from now, our world looks very different. Standing against the forces that have tipped the balance from good to evil are a few heroes. Logan Tom is one of them. He's on a quest to deliver the street kids he rescued in Seattle to safety. So is Angel Perez, who is leading another group in the Oregon wilderness where she encounters the long-hidden Elves of Cintra. Hawk - just learning his magic - encounters the mystical King of the Silver River, who promises safety for both humans and elves - if only they can reach him. . .
