Synopsis:

Part 1:

Thousands of years after the fall of Humankind as we know it the Four Lands is in grave danger. The fate of the world rests on the shoulders of an unlikely trio: an Elvin Princess who dreams of a life outside the palace walls, a beautiful, wild and wily Human Rover and a half-elf who knows nothing of the great destiny that runs through his veins.

Part 2:

Having seen an apocalyptic vision of the world’s destruction, Amberle leaves the palace in search of answers. But when Wil and Allanon realise that only is the key to saving the Four Lands, they set out to find the Princess before the Dagda Mor’s Demons hunt her down first.

Stars: Poppy Drayton, Austin Butler, Ivana Baquero, Manu Bennett and John Rhys-Davies. The series is executive produced by Jon Favreau, Al Gough, Miles Millar, Dan Farah, Jonathan Liebesman and author Terry Brooks.
