The adventure that started in Wards of Faerie takes a thrilling new turn, in the second novel of Terry Brooks’s brand-new trilogy—The Dark Legacy of Shannara!
The quest for the long-lost Elfstones has drawn the leader of the Druid order and her followers into the hellish dimension known as the Forbidding, where the most dangerous creatures banished from the Four Lands are imprisoned. Now the hunt for the powerful talismans that can save their world has become a series of great challenges: a desperate search for kidnapped comrades, a relentless battle against unspeakable predators, and a grim race to escape the Forbidding alive. But though freedom is closer than they know, it may come at a terrifying price.
Back in the village of Arborlon, the mystical, sentient tree that maintains the barrier between the Four Lands and the Forbidding is dying. And with each passing day, as the breach between the two worlds grows larger, the threat of the evil eager to spill forth and wreak havoc grows more dire. The only hope lies with a young Druid, faced with a staggering choice: cling to the life she cherishes or combat an army of darkness by making the ultimate sacrifice.

Praise for Bloodfire Quest
“Explodes from the first page . . . and the action doesn’t stop until the novel’s cliffhanger ending. . . . Intense and exhilarating . . . The author balances character development with intense action, and he has a gift for creating characters the reader cares about. Brooks is one of the best fantasy writers in the business, and Bloodfire Quest is better than its predecessor.”—Associated Press
“Shannara fans will delight in Brooks’s sorcerous action, skilled characterizations, and rapid-fire storytelling twists.”—Publishers Weekly
“Brooks mixes things up here with several sharp battle scenes, for which he brings his distinct talent, giving a true grandeur to clashes involving terrifying creatures and powerful magic. . . . A fine middle chapter to Brooks’ latest Shannara adventure.”—Kirkus Reviews
“From the first pages to the harrowing ending, Bloodfire Quest . . . is a thrill ride that will leave readers wanting more. . . . This volume, paired with the first, might be just the right place to introduce new readers to this fine writer.”—Booklist (starred review)
Praise for Terry Brooks
“I can’t even begin to count how many of Terry Brooks’s books I’ve read (and reread) over the years. From Shannara to Landover, his work was a huge part of my childhood.”—Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind
“Terry Brooks has been my constant companion over a lifetime of exploring my beloved fantasy genre. I say with all honesty I would not be writing epic fantasy today if not for Shannara. If Tolkien is the grandfather of modern fantasy, Terry Brooks is its favorite uncle.”—Peter V. Brett, New York Times bestselling author of The Desert Spear
“Terry Brooks is a master of the craft and a trailblazer who established fantasy as a viable genre. Not only do I owe him for many hours of reading pleasure, I owe him my job. He is required reading.”—Brent Weeks, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Angel Trilogy Download latest books on mediafire and other links compilation Bloodfire Quest: The Dark Legacy of Shannara Epub Free

The book is called "Bloodfire Quest". Yet they don't come anywhere near said artifact. If that's not telling, I don't know what is.
So the book is the second in the Dark Legacy of Shannara series. I bought it on Audible since I had a free one and there was simply no way I was paying $14 for a Kindle edition (I note that as of the date of this, the Kindle edition has FINALLY dropped to a more reasonable $8, of course since Witch Wraith: The Dark Legacy of Shannara is due to come out next month). I also figured I would use this as an additional opportunity to make greater use of audio books as, depending on the reader, I have found them to be entertaining as I grow older. The reader of this one does an excellent job of bringing the characters to life, so I highly recommend it - just not at full price, mind. Look for Immersion Reading pricing or something if you have a compatible Kindle.
Anyway, in "Bloodfire Quest", there is a strong focus on the events in the Forbidding and Arling's hesitation, bordering on refusal, to take up the charge of becoming the next Ellcrys. Unlike in The Elfstones of Shannara (The Sword of Shannara), the Ellcrys this time has a much better and clearer memory of what needs to be done. If you haven't read Elfstones I suggest you do so if only for the comparison in characters. There, it's clear the Ellcrys was totally not expecting the events that were about to unfurl that led her to become the tree. Here, you're left wondering if it's Amberle or someone else that replaced her afterwards.
In a time when the world was young, before the age of man, when magic ruled the day in a world of Faerie, the Elves waged war against demons and darkness. Understanding that the world needed balance but no longer wanting endless war, the Elves called upon all their strength and crafted the Forbidding --- a magical barrier that imprisoned the demons and kept the Four Lands free and safe. But the barrier could only be maintained by the Ellcrys, and should the Ellcrys die, the Forbidding would fail and the demons would be loosed.
Within the pages of BLOODFIRE QUEST, author Terry Brooks brings the world to just such a brink. The Ellcrys is beginning to fade, but she has named her successor --- young Arlingphant Elessedil. Arlingphant, however, is terrified and heartbroken, for to take on the role of the Ellcrys is to sacrifice yourself, to give up life in order to give the Ellcrys tree new birth and keep the world safe. This rebirth requires the finding of the Bloodfire, and so a quest must be mounted to locate the fountain before it's too late. Arlingphant is reluctant to take on this task, wanting instead to join her sister, Aphenglow, as a Druid. Wanting to keep her life.
The Druid Order, however, is in shambles following the events in WARDS OF FAERIE. Paranor has been sealed following the failed siege by Drust Chazhul, and the Ard Rhys Khyber Elessedil has undertaken a mission to locate the two lost Elfstones. The Ard Rhys and her companions have now discovered that the Forbidding is, in fact, failing, and they have found themselves trapped on the other side, in the land of the Jarka Ruus. Hunted by savage beasts and the Straken Lord, Tael Riverine, the team seeking the Elfstones is no longer concerned with their quest. Their only hope now is to stay alive.
