Art by Todd Lockwood<\/p><\/div>\n

One of the most exciting things about the upcoming release of Wards of Faerie<\/em>, a new Shannara<\/em> trilogy by stalwart Fantasy writer Terry Brooks, is that, for the first time since The Wishsong of Shannara<\/em>, in the ’80s, the novel will feature artwork to go alongside Brooks’ story. It’s doubly exciting because they chose one of my favourite artists, Todd Lockwood, to do the art. I’ve always felt that Lockwood and Shannara<\/em> would be a good mix. Having read Wards of Faerie<\/em>, I think he nailed the feel and look of Brooks’ characters and world.<\/p>\n

The above image is kinda small, but Lockwood also made some detail shots available, to give us a closer look at some of the characters.<\/p>\n

Great work. I can’t wait to see the rest when Wards of Faerie<\/em> comes out this summer. I know Brooks gets a hard time nowadays, and he’s been writing some hit-or-miss novels for the past several years, but Wards of Faerie<\/em> is one of his better novels and I hope other fans are as excited as I am to see where he takes the trilogy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
