The Genesis of Shannara trilogy Ð ArmageddonÕs Children, The Elves of Cintra, & The Gypsy Morph Ð charted the fall of our own world into the hands of once-men & demonsÉ& the escape of a few humans, Elves, & others into a remote mountain valley walled in by impenetrable magic. For five-hundred years the survivors have lived peacefully, learning to coexist & to build a new world with the limited resources & skills available to them. Now the magic that kept them safe for so many centuries is wearing down. Frightening creatures are penetrating the barriers & wreaking havoc on the valley within. It is time for the four peoples to stand together & create the new world of Shannara.
