The Darkling Child

*Set in the same world as THE SHANNARA CHRONICLES - now a major fantasy TV series showing on 5Star in the UK and Syfy in Australia* New powers are awakening. A legend is born . . . In a distant corner of the Four Lands; the mysterious magic of the wishsong has been detected. Paxon Leah; sworn protector of the Druid order and heir of the enchanted Sword of Leah; must travel to uncover its source - and ensure that this formidable power is not wielded by the wrong hands. But danger lies in wait; and in a fearsome clash between mortal might and dark magic; it is up to Paxon; as the High Druid's Blade; to defend the people of the Four Lands against a terrifying evil.
