De Shannara-trilogie gaat over het naspel van de oorlogen met een eeuwenoud kwaad, waarin gnomen, elfen, heksenmeesters, druïden en magische voorwerpen een grote rol spelen. Opeens is hij weer terug: de druïde Allanon, de man die Shea hielp de Tovervorst te verslaan. Hij komt voor de liefelijke Brin Ohmsford, die – net als haar broer – de macht kent van het wenslied: een eeuwenoude elfenmagie. Allanon ziet hierin de enige kans om de eeuwenoude bron van kwaad, de Ildatch te vernietigen. De Ildatch is een demonisch boek dat door zijn corrumperende invloed Allanons vader in de zwarte Tovervorst veranderde. Nu bedreigt het heel Shannara…

From the acclaimed author of The Sparrow comes a new, extraordinarily imaginative SF novel which continues the powerful, moving story of Emilio Sandoz, the charismatic Jesuit priest who led the well-intentioned but catastrophic mission to the distant planet of Rakhat, and journeyed to the furthest reaches of the human soul. Now, in Children of God, Father Emilio Sanchoz returns and - against his will - is forced to continue his quest for the meaning, if any, of God's plan. Dazzlingly imaginative, philosophically provocative and immeasurably entertaining, Children of God is a must-read for fans of The Sparrow, and a startlingly fresh adventure for newcomers to Mary Doria Russell's special literary magic.
