The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara Trilogy

The New York Times bestselling author of the classic Shannara epic, Terry Brooks, has proven himself one of the modern masters of fantasy, brilliantly creating breathtaking worlds of magic, adventure, and intrigue. Now, for the first time in one marvelous collector's edition hardcover, here's the complete trilogy of The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Ilse Witch, Antrax, and Morgawr. In these enchanting novels, a colorful contingent of characters takes to the skies aboard a magnificent airship – the Jerle Shannara – on a quest fraught with wonder and danger.
Ilse Witch
A half-drowned elf carries a map
covered with cryptic symbols – and Walker Boh, the last of the Druids,
has the skill to decipher them. But someone else understands the map’s
significance: the ruthless Ilse Witch, who will stop at nothing to
possess it – and the powerful magic it leads to.
Antrax
While
in search of the elusive magic, Walker Boh is lured into a trap – caught
in a dark maze beneath a ruined city, stalked by a hungry, unseen
enemy. It is Antrax: a spirit that feeds off enchantment and traps the
souls of men. Now the fate of the Four Lands hangs in the balance.
Morgawr
The
intrepid heroes aboard the Jerle Shannara have reached their breaking
point. A centuries-old sorcerer, the Morgawr, vows to find and control
the fabled ancient books of magic – and he is an adversary of awesome
might with a fleet of airships and a crew of walking dead men at his
command.
In The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara, Terry Brooks weaves together high adventure, vividly wrought characters, and a spellbinding world into an irresistible story of heroism and sacrifice, love and honor.
Terry Brooks
Terry Brooks was born in Illinois in 1944, where he spent a great deal of his childhood and early adulthood dreaming up stories in and around Sinnissippi Park, the very same park that would eventually become the setting for his bestselling Word & Void trilogy. He went to college and received his undergraduate degree from Hamilton College, where he majored in English Literature, and he received his graduate degree from the School of Law at Washington & Lee University.
A writer since high school, he wrote many stories within the genres of science fiction, western, fiction, and non-fiction, until one semester early in his college years he was given The Lord of the Rings to read. That moment changed Terry's life forever, because in Tolkien's great work he found all the elements needed to fully explore his writing combined in one genre.
