Terry Brooks won instant acclaim with his phenomenal New
York Times bestseller The Sword of Shannara. Its sequels
earned Brooks legendary status. Then his darkly
enthralling The Word and the Void trilogy revealed new
depths and vistas to his mastery of epic fantasy.
Armageddon’s Children and The Elves of Cintra took
Brooks’s remarkable mythos to a breathtaking new level by
delving deep into the history of Shannara. And now, The
Gypsy Morph rounds out–with an adventure of unforgettably
imaginative scope–the first phase of a new chapter in this
classic series.
Eighty years into the future, the
United States is a no-man’s-land: its landscape blighted
by chemical warfare, pollution, and plague; its government
collapsed; its citizens adrift, desperate, fighting to
stay alive. In fortified compounds, survivors hold the
line against wandering predators, rogue militias, and
hideous mutations spawned from the toxic environment,
while against them all stands an enemy neither mortal nor
merciful: demons and their minions bent on slaughtering
and subjugating the last of humankind.
But from
around the country, allies of good unite to challenge the
rampaging evil. Logan Tom, wielding the magic staff of a
Knight of the Word, has a promise to keep–protecting the
world’s only hope of salvation–and a score to settle with
the demon that massacred his family. Angel Perez, Logan’s
fellow Knight, has risked her life to aid the elvish race,
whose peaceful, hidden realm is marked for extermination
by the forces of the Void. Kirisin Belloruus, a young elf
entrusted with an ancient magic, must deliver his entire
civilization from a monstrous army. And Hawk, the rootless
boy who is nothing less than destiny’s instrument, must
lead the last of humanity to a latter-day promised land
before the final darkness falls.
The Gypsy Morph
is an epic saga of a world in flux as the mortal realm
yields to a magical one; as the champions of the Word and
the Void clash for the last time to decide what will be
and what must cease; and as, from the remnants of a doomed
age, something altogether extraordinary rises.
