In his last acclaimed novel, Ilse Witch, a brave company  of explorers led by the last Druid, Walker Boh, traveled across unknown seas in search  of an elusive magic.

Meanwhile, Boh is alone, caught in a dark maze beneath  the ruined city of Castledown, stalked by a hungry, unseen enemy.  For there is  something alive in Castledown. Something not human. Something old beyond reckoning  that covets the magic of Druids, elves, even the Ilse Witch. Something that hunts  men for its own designs: Antrax. It is a spirit that commands ancient technologies  and mechanical monsters, feeds off enchantment, and traps the souls of men. With  the Jerle Shannara under siege and Antrax threatening the bold and unwary, the Ilse  Witch finds herself face-to-face with a boy who claims to be the brother she last  saw as an infant. Now a young man, Bek wields the magic of the wishsong and carries  the Sword of Shannara upon his back. Unsure whether to trust Bek or to slay him,  the Ilse Witch takes him prisoner. One has come pursuing truth, the other revenge.  Yet both seek Walker Bohwith the fate of the Four Lands hanging in the balance.   Return to the world of beloved novelist Terry Brooks, where creatures drift up  from the earth like mist, a hypnotic song can kill, a sword can cut through a veil  of liesand one man, the true heir of an ancient magic, must choose between betrayal  and redemption.
