The Elfstones of Shannara
The Elfstones of Shannara is an 1982 epic fantasy novel by Terry Brooks. It is the first sequel to The Sword of Shannara and the second book in The Original Shannara Trilogy. It expands upon the history of the Elves, which was only hinted at in the preceding story, and follows Wil Ohmsford, grandson of Shea (the hero of the first book) and inheritor of the Elfstones. The novel, set in a fictional world called the Four Lands, consists of two intertwining plotlines. The first plotline follows the quest of protagonists Wil Ohmsford and Amberle Elessedil to create a new Ellcrys, a magical tree that serves to banish all Demons from the Four Lands. To do this, they must locate a specific place in the Four Lands called Safehold, where the process of creating a new Ellcrys can begin. The second plotline focuses on the efforts of the Elven army and their allies to slow a massive Demon invasion, made possible by the dying of the current Ellcrys, to give Wil and Amberle enough time to complete their quest. In 2007, Warner Bros. optioned the film rights to the Shannara universe for producer Dan Farah, but the rights deal expired in 2010 and all rights reverted to Terry Brooks. Dan Farah's Farah Films partnered with Sonar Entertainment to acquire the TV rights to the Shannara universe in 2012. In 2013 it was announced that MTV would be the U.S network for The Shannara Chronicles, an epic fantasy tv series based on the Shannara books. The series is executive produced by Dan Farah, Jon Favreau, Miles Millar, Al Gough, and Jonathan Liebesman. The series premiered on MTV in the US on January 5, 2016.
