Dark Lord Guy, at which point the young man has a crisis of faith, but the Dark Lord winds up destroyed anyway. They travel through a bleak and blasted land, to the very stronghold of Mr. Meanwhile, the young man, separated from his friends, presses on- crossing paths with a wretched soul who also lusts for the book’s MacGuffin. The exiled prince returns to his homeland, just in time to defend it against an assault of the Ye Olde Dark Lord’s armies- however, he also has to deal with scheming ‘advisors’ who contest his claim to the throne.
The wizard fights a scary winged monster, then falls into a pit of fire and is thought lost by everyone (only to show up again sometime later). The group tromps on, gets chased around by the bad guys, and then they’re ultimately separated. They’re soon joined by a motley collection of Elves, Dwarves, and disguised princes. The young man sets out on this journey in the company of his practical, loyal, but arguably dim best friend. The wrong hands being, of course, that of Ye Olde Dark Lord, an ancient and terrible wizard with armies of monsters at his command, including a special cadre of semi-undead servants.
This quest is of the utmost importance, centering around an ancient magical artifact of great power that will cause untold destruction if it falls into the wrong hands. So in ye olden Fantasy Land of Elves and Dwarves and such, a mysterious wizard recruits a young man of the humblest of origins to go on a great quest. Book Review: Terry Brooks’ The Sword of Shannara
