The Original Shannara Trilogy consists of the first three Shannara novels (The Sword of Shannara, The Elfstones of Shannara and The Wishsong of Shannara) by Terry Brooks. Though not originally written as a trilogy, the novels were recently published as The Sword of Shannara Trilogy by Del Rey. Terry Brooks' bibliography on his official website, however, lists the books as The Original Shannara Trilogy.

Unlike the other three main Shannara series, each book in this series is a stand-alone novel.


The Books[]

The Sword of Shannara[]

The first novel of The Original Shannara Trilogy chronicles the adventures of the brothers Shea and Flick Ohmsford in their quest to retrieve the titular weapon to defeat the Warlock Lord who threatens the Four Lands.

The second novel of The Original Shannara Trilogy follows Shea's grandson, Wil Ohmsford as he aids the endangered Elven nation.

The final novel of The Original Shannara Trilogy details the quest of Jair and Brin Ohmsford, the children of Wil, to save the Four Lands from the evil magic within a tome called the Ildatch.
