Book Description:
In a sleepy steel-mill town, the ultimate battle between Good and Evil is about to begin . . .
Sinnissippi Park, in Hopewell, Illinois, has long hidden a mysterious evil, locked away from humankind by powers greater than most could even imagine. But now the malevolent creatures that normally skulk in the shadows of the park grow bolder, and old secrets hint at a violent explosion.
The brewing conflict draws John Ross to Hopewell. A Knight of the Word, Ross is plagued by nightmares that tell him someone evil is coming to unleash an ancient horror upon the world. Caught between them is fourteen-year-old Nest Freemark, who senses that something is terribly wrong but has not yet learned to wield the budding power that sets her apart from her friends.
Now the future of humanity depends upon a man haunted by his dreams and a gifted young girl--two souls who will discover what survives when hope and innocence are shattered forever . . .

If you're looking for swords, the Silver River, elves etc- they aren't here... yet. A prequel series (capable of standing on its own), this first book introduces us to the world that spawned Shannara and (not entirely surprisingly) it turns out to be our own. The first few chapters seem a bit 'off' (because they are? Or because you've already read the rest?) but if you stick with it you'll find a good story and if you read the next 2 in the series you'll see where it ever so slightly starts to pull toward Shannara just in time for the newest series (Genesis of Shannara) to finish piecing it together for you.

I love the unique characters and elements Brooks brings into his work. This is definitely one of my favorite trilogies!

Although it's not set in a fantasy environnment, it's still pretty typical Terry Brooks. it's entertaining enough.

It took me a while to get into this one. But after about half way, the pace really picked up and I couldn't put it down. Great action!

1st book in the trilogy. Very intense story of good vs evil.
I was enthralled with the whole series... So different from his other series which I also love.
