Plot summary
The Druid of Shannara follows the journey of Walker Boh as he attempts to fulfill the task given to him by the shade of the Druid Allanon, to return the Druid castle of Paranor to the Four Lands. He joins forces with the Highlander Morgan Leah, the beautiful and charismatic elemental, Quickening, and the dangerous and cunning Pe Ell, who has ulterior motives for embarking on the expedition. Their path leads far north into the rock land Eldwist, home of Uhl Belk, the Stone King. Uhl Belk is the keeper of the Black Elfstone, the only object known that can restore Paranor. In the end, the company manages to wrest the Elfstone from him, but at a terrible price.
