Five long years have passed since the terrible and cataclysmic events
of Running with the Demon. And those years have been hard on John
Ross, a Knight of the Word sworn to fight the eternal battle against
mankind's demons. For in saving the world from the horror of the Void,
he has lost his spirit, his belief and, it seems, his magic.
But Nest Freemark, whose own childhood was shattered by those events
five years ago, is about to be drawn once more into the mythic world of
the Word and the Void. She learns that John Ross is in great danger
from a demon like no other. If she doesn't warn him in time and if he
can't be persuaded to take up once again his staff of magic the battle
may be lost for ever. But before that can happen, the Knight of the
Word must face his personal demons.
A Knight of the Word is a powerful and enthralling novel of courage and
belief from the acknowledged master of fantasy fiction.
