This week I'm spotlighting Sword of Shannara, which is a book I've been very eager to get to from some time.
Here's the description taken from goodreads:
Long ago, wars of ancient Evil ruined the world and forced mankind to compete with many other races - gnomes, trolls, dwarfs, and elves. In peaceful Shady Vale, half-elfin Shea Ohmsford knows little of such troubles until giant, forbidding Allanon, with strange Druidic powers, reveals a supposedly-dead Warlock Lord plots to destroy the world.
The sole weapon against this Power of Darkness is the Sword of Shannara, only usable by a true heir of Shannara. On Shea, last of the bloodline, rests the hope of all the races. Soon a Skull Bearer, dread minion of Evil, flies into the Vale to kill Shea. To save the Vale, Shea flees, drawing the Skull Bearer after him.
From page 56 of Sword of Shannara:
If the enemy had discovered where he was, as Balinor had warned, then all the possible escape routes would be watched.

I got started on this series back in high school and I adored it! I've made my way thought a good deal of the Shannara books, but I still have some catching up to do. Really looking forward to the tv show.
