A Knight of the Word - Terry Brooks

•¤• Background •¤• Terry Brooks, most famous for the high-fantasy Shannara series, turned his hand to a more ‘real world’ style – well, modern USA-set, but with demons and woodland creatures abound. The Word And The Void trilogy contains, somewhat unsurprisingly, three books: Running With The Demon, A Knight Of The Word, and Angel Fire East.
