"The magical Ellcrys tree is dying, loosening the spell that bars the Demons from enacting vengeance upon the land. Now Wil Ohmsford must guard the Elven girl Amberle on a perilous quest as she carries one of the Ellcrys' seeds to a mysterious place where it can be quickened into a powerful new force. But dark on their trail comes the Reaper, most fearsome of all Demons, aiming to crush their mission at any cost.

Thus continues the enthralling Shannara epic, a spellbinding tale of adventure, magic, and myth..."

Another good read from Terry Brooks.  I read this a while back and can no longer remember some of the details.  I write, not so much as to review, but to recommend this.  I found The Elfstones of Shannara so good that I still have the book.  If you do read this book, would really like to know what you think of it.  I don't have the time to read it now.
