High Druid of Shannara

While the evil druid Shadea a'Ru and Prime Minister Sen Dunsidan hold power, young Penderrin sets out on a treacherous journey to find his aunt, the true Ard Rhys, and release her from her prison, a task for which he needs a talisman from the legendary tree called the Tanequil.

Tagwen, Pen Ohmsford, and the powerful elf Ahren Elessedil embark upon a desperate and dangerous mission to deliver the High Druid of Shannara from the hands of her enemies.

Pen Ohmsford is charged with the task of rescuing his Aunt Grianne, held captive by a demon; but he is captured and taken to Parador by Druids who have been pursuing him, imprisoned, and deprived of the darkwand, his only means of crossing over into the Forbidding to rescue his aunt.

Grianne Ohmsford, having denounced her former life as the Ilse Witch and devoted herself to the greater good as Ard Rhys, the High Druid of Paranor, is still plagued by enemies from her past, and when she suddenly disappears, her faithful servant Tagwen joins with Grianne's nephew Pen, and the powerful elf Ahren, on a desperate rescue mission.
