Angel Fire East
When Running with the Demon appeared two years ago, it was recognized
at once as a masterpiece in the making, a bold departure that promised
to revitalize contemporary urban fantasy and showcase Terry Brooks's
vast storytelling gifts as never before. The second book of the series,A Knight of the Word, raised expectations even higher. Now, in Angel
Fire East, sure to be hailed as his most ambitious, most accomplished
work yet, Terry Brooks brings his bestselling epic trilogy of good and
evil to an unforgettable close.
As
a Knight of the Word, John Ross has struggled against the tireless dark
forces of the Void for twenty-five years. A rootless wanderer scarred
as deeply by the magic he wields as by the unspeakable horrors he has
witnessed in its service, Ross is driven by dreams that show the world
reduced to blood and ashes by the Void and its minions. The grim
futures he dreams each night will come true unless he can stop them
now, in the present. But for all his power, John Ross is only one man,
while the demons he hunts – and which hunt him in turn – are legion.
Then
Ross learns of the birth of a gypsy morph, a rare and dangerous
creature formed of wild magics spontaneously knit together. If he can
discover its secret, the morph could be an invaluable weapon against
the Void. But the Void, too, knows the value of the morph, and will not
rest until the creature has been corrupted – or destroyed.
Desperate,
Ross returns to the town of Hopewell, Illinois, home of Nest Freemark,
a young woman with magical abilities of her own. Twice before, with the
fate of the world hanging in the balance, the lives of Ross and Nest
have intersected. Together, they have prevailed.
But now they
face an ancient evil beyond anything they have ever encountered, for a
demon of ruthless intelligence and feral cunning awaits them in
Hopewell. As a firestorm of good and evil erupts, threatening to
consume lives and shatter dreams, Ross and Nest have but a single
chance to solve the mystery of the gypsy morph – and of their own
profound connection.
Terry Brooks
Terry Brooks didn’t set out to write stories—he set out to create worlds. In the same way that ancient myths were woven together from the fabric of dreams and the fabric of history, Brooks has crafted a narrative universe where epic journeys are born out of simple, quiet moments. His words have given readers across the globe a chance to step into landscapes that are as vivid as they are dangerous, where the lines between good and evil blur and the stakes are nothing less than the survival of entire realms.
The Word and The Void
The Word and The Void consists of three primary books, and includes two additional books that complement the series but are not considered mandatory reads. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
