The adventure that started in Wards of Faerie takes a thrilling new turn, in the second novel of New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks' 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.

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.
