- author
- Terry
- Brooks
- makes
- his
- triumphant
- return
- to
- the
- world
- of
- Shannara,
- delving
- deep
- into
- the
- origin
- story
- of
- the
- druid
- order
- and
- its
- enigmatic
- creator
- that
- will
- change
- the
- face
- of
- the
- Four
- Lands
- forever.One
- of
- the
- most
- iconic
- structures
- in
- the
- Four
- Lands
- is
- Paranor,
- the
- fortress
- home
- of
- the
- Druid
- Order.
- Legend
- holds
- that
- it
- was
- erected
- by
- an
- Elven
- leader
- known
- as
- Galaphile
- Joss.
- But
- who
- was
- this
- Galaphile,
- and
- how
- and
- why
- did
- he
- choose
- to
- establish
- this
- center
- of
- magic
- and
- learning?Within
- these
- pages
- we
- meet
- the
- real
- Galaphile,
- following
- him
- from
- a
- friendless
- teenage
- orphan
- stranded
- in
- the
- Human
- world
- to
- a
- powerful
- adult
- and
- master
- mage,
- studying
- under
- the
- infamous
- recluse,
- Cogline.
- We
- learn
- of
- the
- forces
- that
- shaped
- him—those
- he
- loved,
- and
- those
- he
- lost;
- those
- who
- aided
- him,
- and
- those
- who
- stood
- against
- him.Throughout
- it
- all,
- Galaphile’s
- goal
- is
- a
- noble
- one:
- to
- bring
- order
- to
- a
- chaotic
- world,
- and
- to
- make
- life
- better
- for
- those
- trying
- to
- survive
- it.
- To
- this
- end,
- he
- commences
- building
- the
- citadel
- which
- will
- one
- day
- be
- known
- as
- Paranor
- with
- the
- aid
- of
- the
- King
- of
- the
- Silver
- River.
- But
- there
- is
- one
- other
- who
- seeks
- dominion
- over
- the
- Four
- Lands—and
- for
- far
- less
- virtuous
- ends.For
- this
- foe
- has
- been
- corrupted
- by
- an
- ancient
- evil—one
- that
- will
- not
- only
- reach
- out
- and
- touch
- Galaphile’s
- nearest
- and
- dearest,
- but
- also
- echo
- down
- through
- the
- centuries,
- sowing
- the
- seeds
- for
- some
- of
- the
- darkest
- times
- the
- Four
- Lands
- will
- ever face.
