For eight centuries, the Knights of the Word have stood as humanity's last defense against the demonic forces of the Void, wielding ancient magic to hold back an encroaching darkness. John Ross has served this daunting legacy for decades, but after a devastating act of violence shatters his faith, he abandons his calling and attempts to build an ordinary life far from the supernatural horrors that have defined his existence. His escape proves short-lived when the Void discovers his vulnerability and sends its demons to hunt him down, threatening everyone he holds dear. Now Ross must turn to Nest Freemark, a young woman whose own extraordinary powers once saved humanity itself, to help him reclaim his lost faith and stand against the darkness once more. In this gripping tale of redemption and sacrifice, Terry Brooks weaves a powerful story about the cost of duty, the possibility of second chances, and the eternal struggle between light and shadow.
