'Terry's place is at the head of the fantasy world' Philip Pullman
Fifty years from now, our world looks very different. Governments have fallen. Thousands live in fortified strongholds; others roam the landscape as either predator or prey. Standing against the forces that have tipped the balance from good to evil are a very few heroes, men and women imbued with powerful magic and sworn to a high destiny.
Logan Tom is one of those heroes. He's on a desperate quest to deliver the street kids he rescued in Seattle to safety. So, too, is Angel Perez, who is leading a second group in the Oregon wilderness where she encounters the long-hidden Elves of Cintra. And Hawk - just learning his magic - has an encounter with the mystical King of the Silver River, who promises safety for both humans and elves - if only they can reach him. . .

MEDIA REVIEWS
I can't even begin to count how many of Terry Brooks's books I've read (and re-read) over the years - Patrick Rothfuss, author of THE NAME OF THE WIND
Terry's place is at the head of the fantasy world - Philip Pullman
I would not be writing epic fantasy today if not for Shannara - Peter V. Brett, author of THE PAINTED MAN
If you haven't read Terry Brooks, you haven't read fantasy - Christopher Paolini, author of ERAGON
Brooks has always aimed for a Tolkien level of epic, fantasy swagger in his work and The Elves of Cintra is no exception . . . a worthy sequel to Armageddon's Children and a pretty damn intelligent fantasy opus. . . The Elves of Cintra is metaphorically rich and politically smart. - DEATHRAY
What a gripper of a story! In the second book of the Genesis of Shannara series, Brooks delivers a tension-fuelled tale mixing Shannara fantasy with the contemporary world of the Knights of the Word - SFX
A brilliant apocalyptic fantasy novel that will have readers on the edge of their seats from the start. - WATERSTONE'S BOOKS QUARTERLY
