The fellowship of elves, dwarves and men led by Walker Boh has reached Castledown on their search for the ancient magic whose existence Walker has deciphered from the map held in the hand of a dead Elf Prince. Now they face magical terrors and Walker's nemesis, the Ilse Witch. Can they survive?

Walker Boh, the last of the Druids, must decipher an ancient map and get to the magic before the Ilse Witch, a beautiful but twisted young woman who wields a magic as potent as that of Walker Boh. Set a generation after The Talismans of Shannara , Ilse Witch begins a five-book Shannara series.

In Morgawr, Walker Boh is seemingly dead and the Ilse Witch is now finally aware of how her life has been twisted out of shape by her mentor Morgawr. Her hope is that she and her brother will defeat Morgawr or their race will be enslaved forever.
