Leofur is the daughter of Arcannen, a power-hungry sorcerer prepared to use the blackest of magic to get what he wants.
But she is also devoted to Arcannen's nemesis, Paxon Leah - sworn protector of the Druids who defend the Four Lands against evil.
When the Druids are forced to flee, having been framed for a murderous rampage which leaves many dead, Paxon knows that the evil sorcerer Arcannen is behind it. As the Druids seek sanctuary, Leofur sets out on a perilous quest to thwart her father's desires to destroy them all . . .

I love Shannara but not just Shannara but all the works of Terry Brooks. He has always been and always will be my favourite author but this book for me contains his worst and most boring un-relatable character creation yet...Leofer Rai. Seriously! I just found her loathsome an unappealing in every way. Otherwise, this book was the usual reliable 5 out of 5 star adventure I've come to know and love from Terry Brooks.
