The High Druid of Shannara trilogy reaches its climax as young hero Penderrin Ohmsford faces his trial by fire, while a banished ruler struggles for survival in a treacherous wilderness. The King of the Silver River has tasked Penderrin with rescuing his aunt, Grianne, the Ard Rhys of the Druid order, from her exile in the perilous dimension known as the Forbidding. Accompanied by the noble dwarf Tagwen and the elven princess Khyber Elessedil, Penderrin embarks on this dangerous mission amid a brutal war between the Federation and the Free-born. However, the ruthless Druid Shadea a'Ru, who has usurped Grianne's position, relentlessly pursues them with her assassins. To breach the Forbidding, Penderrin has already paid a heavy price, and the stakes rise as the Free-born forces face annihilation from the Federation's lethal new weapon. As he learns that his parents, Bek Ohmsford and Rue Meridian, are also in Shadea's grasp, Penderrin must navigate the treacherous Druid's Keep, where dark magic and danger lurk. The horrors awaiting him in the Forbidding threaten to unleash chaos upon the Four Lands, making his success imperative for their survival.
