The last cities have fallen. Demons and once-men swarm the ravaged landscape of the former United States. A small band of survivors - the elves of Cintra and a ragtag group of human children and their protectors - flees northward toward a safe haven promised by the mystical King of the Silver River. To reach it, they must follow the boy named Hawk - now revealed as the legendary gypsy morph.
With two Knights of the Word as their only protection, the brave remnant faces attacks on all sides. At stake are the survival of both races, human and elf - and the beginning of a new world for both.
Praise for the Genesis of Shannara trilogy:
- 'Bestseller Brooks effortlessly connects the Tolkien-infused magic of his Shannara books with the urban, postapocalyptic world of his Word and Void series . . . Longtime Brooks fans and newcomers will be riveted ' Publishers Weekly (starred review)
- '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
