The First King of Shannara

Before the legendary Shannara series, a dark power rises in the Northlands, threatening to engulf the Four Lands. The Druid Bremen, outcast for his study of forbidden magic, uncovers a plot by the malevolent archmage Brona and his Skull Bearers. To save their world from eternal subjugation, Bremen must unite the disparate peoples and find a weapon powerful enough to defeat the Warlock Lord.
