A Knight
of the Word
by Terry Brooks
- Book Description
An unbroken string of fourteen national bestsellers has
established Terry Brooks as today's leading voice in
fantasy fiction, a writer whose magical creations and
characters are beloved the world over. Now, in this
no-holds-barred battle between good and evil, the
dazzling sequel to his bestselling Running with the
Demon, Brooks surpasses even himself.
In the eleventh century the Welsh hero Owain Glyndwr was
chosen to combat the demonic evil of the Void and
disappeared from history to fulfill that mission. Armed
with powerful magic, Glyndwr became a Knight of the
Word--a draining and demanding legacy passed on eight
centuries later to John Ross, a professor of English
literature on tour in Wales.
In accepting the black runestaff that channeled the magic
of the Word, John Ross accepted a solemn trust--and an
awful burden. Each night he dreams of hellish futures
wrought upon the world by the Void. And each dream is of
a future that will come to pass unless Ross prevents it
in the present. Crippled in body and soul by the searing
magic he wields and the horrors he dreams, sustained only
by his faith in the goodness of the Word, Ross drifts
across America, a modern-day knight errant in search of
the agents of the Void.
Then an unspeakable act of violence shatters his weary
beliefs. Haunted by guilt, John Ross turns his back on
the Word. With the help of beautiful Stefanie Winslow,
Ross slowly builds a new life--a life whose only magic
lies in Stefanie's healing love.
