Horrified by the misuse of magic they had witnessed during the First War of the Races, the Druids at Paranor devoted themselves to the study of the old sciences, from the period before the collapse of civilization a thousand years before. Only the Bremen and a few trusted associates still studied the arcane arts. And for his persistence, Bremen found himself outcast, avoided by all but the few free-thinkers among the Druids.
But his removal from Paranor was not altogether a terrible thing, for Bremen learned that dark forces were on the move from the Northlands. That seemingly invincible armies of trolls were fast conquering all that lay to their south. That the scouts for the army--and its principal assassins--were Skull Bearers, disfigured and transformed Druids who had fallen prey to the seductions of the magic arts. And that at the heart of the evil tide was an archmage and former Druid named Brona!
Using the special skills he had acquired through his own study of Magic, Bremen was able to penetrate the huge camp of the Troll army and learn many of its secrets. And he immediately understood that if the peoples of the Four Lands were to escape eternal subjugation they would need to unite. But, even united, they would need a weapon, something so powerful that the evil magic of Brona, the Warlock Lord, would fail before its might...

Weer een prachtig verhaal uit de Shannara-reeks.

From the fantasy ring box.
I found one other book of the series, Het zwaard van Shannara (the sword of Shannara) in the box and thought it to be no 1 of the trilogy. I am glad to find this volume too - should I call it no 0? - so now I can read it before the other book.

Journal Entry 4 by Boekenspookje at Minibieb Utrechtse Jaagpad (Tolkienwinkel) in Leiden, Zuid-Holland Netherlands on Thursday, November 10, 2022
Released 1 yr ago (11/10/2022 UTC) at Minibieb Utrechtse Jaagpad (Tolkienwinkel) in Leiden, Zuid-Holland Netherlands
WILD RELEASE NOTES:
I have read it sometime ago in Dutch, and although I promised myself to read this one in English it is still waiting on my bookshelf. Today it waited long enough, so I will take it to the little free library in front of the Tolkienwinkel in Leiden, where I am sure other fantasylovers will like to take it with them.
