The ship stops on three islands along the way, retrieving the keys that will allow them into the fortress of Castledown where the books are concealed, and battling threats like giant eels, living plants, and a haunted castle.
The airship is the Jerle Shannara, captained by Rover mercenary Redden Alt Mer and his sister, Rue Meridian, and the crew includes Panax the Dwarf, Highland Prince Quentin Leah and his cousin Bek Rowe, seer Ryer Ord Star, Elven Prince Ahren Elessedil, enigmatic Shapeshifter Truls Rohk, and a complement of Elven Hunters under the command of former Home Guard Captain, Ard Patrinell. Seeing in this a way to benefit all the races, the Druid Walker strikes a deal with the current Elven King, and gathers a crew to sail across the Blue Divide and retrieve the books. His memories reveal information about supposedly lost books of magic, and old world sciences. He is revealed to be the only survivor of a voyage across the Blue Divide, and a member of the ruling Elven Elessedil family to boot. The first book, Ilse Witch opens when a man washes up on a beach. It concerns itself with a voyage of discovery made by the Elven airship, the Jerle Shannara. The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara is a three book installment in Terry Brooks's best-selling Shannara series.
