[1] Dark Wraith of Shannara began with Jair Ohmsford having a recurring dream in which he relives a section of Indomitable where he managed to become the slain "Weapons Master" Garet Jax.

Jair left, but that night, he was visited by the shade of Allanon, who told him that Kimber Boh and Cogline were captured by Mwellrets and their master, the Croton Witch.

Allanon tells him that they seek to gain information about how to return Paranor to the world from Cogline, who had previously been a Druid.

Slanter was thrown against a rock and knocked half-blind and dazed, so Jair is forced to break his promise to Brin.

Eventually, Jair and Slanter found the Mwellrets and the Croton Witch, who are forcing Cogline to use magic to bring back Paranor.
