Desperate to help his brother, before every chance was gone, Par impulsively jammed the Sword of Shannara into the earth before him. He reached to take hold of Coll’s hands and fastened Coll’s chill, shaking fingers around the pommel of the Sword, holding them there with his own. Please let the magic come, begged Par. Light flared down the length of the Sword’s smooth blade. Fire followed. Par felt it extend and weave, drawing him out of himself and into the talisman, there to find Coll waiting, there to join the brothers as one. The Talismans of Shannara is a fantasy novel by American writer Terry Brooks.
