For in her unearthly prison, the Ard Rhys faces a demonic plight too hideous to countenance It also means striking a bargain direr than Pen could ever imagine. That means journeying into the Inkrim-a dreaded region thick with shadows and haunted by harrowing legends. To breach the Forbidding and bring Grianne back to the natural world means finding the fabled Tanequil, and the talisman it alone can provide. Eluding death is only half the battle for Pen. Shadea's airship-borne minions and the relentless assassin under her command continue their fierce pursuit of Pen and his comrades. But it could all be undone if Grianne's young nephew, Penderrin, succeeds in his frantic quest to rescue her. Their bloodless coup a success, the corrupt pair, and their confederates within the Druid Council, seeks to make their dominion over the Four Lands absolute-with the aid of a devastating new weapon. And now Grianne languishes in the fearsome and inescapable netherworld called the Forbidding.
Only Shadea and her cats paw-the treacherous Prime Minister Sen Dunsidan-know the secret fate of the true Ard Rhys, for it was they who engineered it, by means of dark magic. Loyal to none but herself and lethal even to those closest to her, Shadea a'Ru now holds sway as High Druid of Paranor-her ascension to power all but unchallenged in the wake of Grianne Ohmsford's sudden, mysterious vanishing. Through it all, Terry Brooks orchestrates the action with the flawless hand of a master mythmaker- fashioning another exquisite link in his chain of bestselling epics. Alliances are made, trusts are betrayed, and prices are paid. Events that began in Jarka Ruus, Book One of High Druid of Shannara, come swiftly to a head in this second thrilling volume.
