Shannara is an epic/high fantasy series of novels written by Terry Brooks, beginning with The Sword of Shannara in 1977. The series tells the generational saga of the Shannara family, an Elven noble family that plays an important role in the struggles that ensue. The series blends magic and primitive technology, set in the Four Lands in a distant future long after civilization as we know it was destroyed in a chemical and nuclear holocaust called the Great Wars, and the world has reverted to a medieval state and magic has reemerged to supplement science as humans live among other races. Further into the novels, science starts to become more advanced.

  • Shannara is an epic fantasy series of novels written by Terry Brooks, beginning with The Sword of Shannara in 1977 and continuing through The Gypsy Morph (2008). Shannara is not the name of the world in which the series takes place(that being the Four Lands) but it is instead the name of an Elven noble family. Many of the protagonists in the series belong to this family, the first one to appear being Jerle Shannara.

The latest trilogy High Druid of Shannara focuses on Grianne Ohmsford and is set 20 years after The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara. The prequel First King of Shannara is set during the lifetime of Jerle Shannara (after whom the airship is named), an ancestor of Shea.
