Originally, The Sword of Shannara was published in 1977 in a large, softcover, trade paperack edition. The rarity of these three volumes is immense and it is due to their initial printing numbers.
Collecting The Sword of Shannara, The Elfstones of Shannara and The Wishsong of Shannara are the three hardest hardcovers to find in the history of the fantasy genre. Everything listed on this page is tentative but it is also what Terry has in mind at this very moment: Letters From Terry JHoliday 2009 AugMaHoliday 2007 JHoliday 2006 Holiday 2005 The Gypsy Morph – paperback (in stores) A Landover omnibus – books 1-3 (in stores) A Landover omnibus – books 4-5 (in stores) A Princess of Landover (in stores) The World of Shannara – Revised & Updated (in stores)… The website receives many questions about what he is publishing next, so this part of the website is devoted to the future-not only concerning the next new book but what Terry’s planning on doing over the next several years. He finishes a new book at the same time as the last one is being released, so he is always one book ahead of what the readers have in their hands. It is this work ethic that helps him publish a book every year. He begins writing at six o’clock every morning, and during those moments he is not writing, he has one foot in the story. What’s Next? erry is always working on a new writing project. There is hope, though: Grianne has been redeemed, and has taken Walker's place as the last Druid of the Four Lands. After countless dangers, the company returns to the Four Lands sadly reduced: Walker, Ryer Ord Star, and the shape-shifter Truls Rohk are dead as are all the Elves except for Ahren Elessedil, while the Dwarf Panax has decided to stay in Parkasia.
However, a dangerous foe also awaits the company in the land of Parkasia: Antrax, a machine that feeds upon magical energy. Pursuing them is the Ilse Witch, a sorceress who is actually Bek's lost sister Grianne, and her evil mentor, the Mwellret/ human hybrid known as the Morgawr.
Accompanying Walker is a varied group of Elves, a Dwarf, a shapeshifter, a seer, and the two most powerful beings on the expedition after Walker: Quentin Leah and Bek Rowe. Walker Boh, still attempting to form a new Druid Council, sets out on a voyage to find knowledge of the old world in a faraway land. Similar to its predecessor, this is one cohesive story following the happenings of Bek Rowe, Walker Boh, and Grianne Ohmsford, among other characters. The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara is a trilogy by Terry Brooks set 130 years after The Heritage of Shannara tetralogy.
