Home > Shannara (Terry Brooks)

The first three books, The Sword of Shannara, The Elfstones of Shannara, and The Wishsong of Shannara follow Shea and Flick Ohmsford and their immediate descendants. The first book has been criticized for overly borrowing themes from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.

The next four books, known as the Heritage of Shannara, are set 300 years after the first books. These follow three of Shea's descendants: Walker, Coll, and Par.

The The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara trilogy is set aboard the airship Jerle Shannara and is the continuation of Walker Boh 's story.

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 (who the airship is named after), an ancestor of Shea.

The relationships can be seen in the Shannara family tree.
