Summary
Eight centuries ago the first Knight of the Word was commissioned to combat the demonic evil of the Void. Now that daunting legacy has passed to John Ross—along with powerful magic and the knowledge that his actions are all that stand between a living hell and humanity’s future.

Then, after decades of service to the Word, an unspeakable act of violence shatters John Ross’s weary faith. Haunted by guilt, he turns his back on his dread gift, settling down to build a normal life, untroubled by demons and nightmares.

But a fallen Knight makes a tempting prize for the Void, which could bend the Knight’s magic to its own evil ends. And once the demons on Ross’s trail track him to Seattle, neither he nor anyone close to him will be safe. His only hope is Nest Freemark, a college student who wields an extraordinary
magic all her own. Five years earlier, Ross had aided Nest when the future of humanity rested upon her choice between Word and Void. Now Nest must return the favor. She must restore Ross’s faith, or his life—and hers—will be forfeit …

“[An] urban dark fantasy … Sharp and satisfying.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

This was a surprising story and impelling read. Very " Koontz" like. I liked it very much as well as the first. Going to start the 3rd as soon as my next credit is ready!

Awesome story, I highly recommend this book! Terry Brooks has created a world that is surprisingly so close to the reality of today's society. I look forward to reading all of the stories in this very large series of books since this and Running with the Demon is the beginning.

The Knight of the Word was mesmerizing and brought to mind the events that are plaguing the world today in 2016. 28 years after the book was written! Terry Brooks is so talented and paints a vivid world of hope and despair. I highly recommend this audiobook my only complaint, (very minor) is that the narrators voice did not have the richness that I had hoped for. BUT don't let that detract you. I loved the book and am happy to have purchased it. Great audio book!!
