The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara by Terry Brooks (Contains Affiliate Link)
New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks became the master of epic fantasy with the publication of his legendary debut, The Sword of Shannara.
Since then, each new novel in the Shannara saga has brilliantly built
upon and deepened the world of breathtaking magic, adventure, and
intrigue he created. In The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara—his
third enchanting series—he literally took his legions of loyal readers
soaring to new heights as a colorful contingent of characters took to
the skies aboard a magnificent airship on a quest fraught with wonder
and danger.
Now in Morgawr, the quest at last draws to
its climactic conclusion, as the forces of good and evil vying against
each other to possess an ancient magic race towards an explosive
clash—and whatever fate awaits the victor . . . and the vanquished.
Harrowing confrontations with the merciless Ilse Witch and the monstrous
Antrax have already taken their toll on the intrepid heroes of the Four
Lands. But their darkest adversary now snaps at their heels, in the
form of the Morgawr—master of the Ilse Witch, 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 is in relentless pursuit of the Jerle Shannara
and the crew that mans her. For the Morgawr, the goal is two fold: to
find and control the fabled ancient books of magic, and to destroy the
dark disciple who betrayed him—the Ilse Witch. But the Ilse Witch is
already a prisoner . . . of herself. Exposed to the awesome power of the
Sword of Shannara, and forced to confront the truth of her horrifying
deeds, she has fled deep into her own mind. Now at the mercy of those
who seek vengeance against her, her only protector is her long-lost
brother, Bek Ohmsford, who is determined to redeem his beloved sister . .
. and deliver her to the destiny predicted for her by the Druid Walker
Boh.
Once again, Terry Brooks weaves together high adventure,
vividly wrought characters, and a spellbinding world into an
irresistible story of heroism and sacrifice, love and honor. In Morgawr, fans of the Shannara mythos will find both a satisfying finale and the promise of new wonders yet to come. (From Amazon.com product listing)
