A Knight Of The Word cover

This gripping tale follows John Ross, a Knight of the Word, as he grapples with lost belief and magic while trying to protect Nest Freemark from a formidable demon threat.

A Knight of the Word is a compelling narrative by renowned author Terry Brooks, continuing the saga of John Ross, a Knight of the Word dedicated to combating the demons that threaten humanity. Set five years after the events of Running With the Demon, the story explores the toll that this ongoing battle has taken on Ross. Once a vibrant warrior, he now finds himself disillusioned and disconnected from his magic, working in a hostel for homeless children. Despite his struggles, he remains committed to making a difference in the lives of those around him.

As the plot unfolds, Nest Freemark, a character deeply affected by past events, learns of a new and formidable demon targeting John Ross. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, she is compelled to re-enter the mythic realm of the Word and the Void. Her mission is not only to warn Ross of the impending danger but also to rekindle his belief in himself and his powers. The stakes are high, as the fate of their world hangs in the balance, hinging on Ross's willingness to embrace his destiny once more.

Brooks weaves a tale rich with themes of courage, belief, and redemption. A Knight of the Word invites readers to reflect on the nature of heroism and the importance of hope, even in the darkest of times. As the characters confront their fears and challenges, the story serves as a reminder that the battle against evil is not just external but also an internal journey of self-discovery and renewal.
