"The action is fast and furious . . . A fitting conclusion to one
trilogy and a promising taking-off point for another."--Booklist
Harrowing confrontations with the merciless Ilse Witch and the monstrous
Antrax have taken their toll on the intrepid heroes aboard the airship
Jerle Shannara. But their darkest adversary now snaps at their heels, in
the form of the Morgawr--feeder upon the souls of his enemies and
centuries-old sorcerer of unimaginable might with a fleet of airships
and a crew of walking dead men at his command. The Morgawr's goal is
twofold: find and control the fabled ancient books of magic and destroy
the dark disciple who betrayed him--the Ilse Witch. Now at the mercy of
those who seek vengeance against her, the Ilse Witch's only protector is
her long-lost brother, Bek Ohmsford, who is determined to redeem his
beloved sister . . . and to fulfill her destiny.
