A Knight of the Word

Eight centuries ago, the mantle of Knight of the Word was created to combat the insidious evil of the Void. This daunting legacy now rests upon John Ross, granting him immense magic and the crushing knowledge that only his actions stand between humanity and a living hell. After decades of tireless service, an unspeakable act of violence shatters his weary faith, leading him to abandon his dread gift in pursuit of a normal life, free from demons and nightmares. However, a fallen Knight is a tempting prize for the Void, which hungers to twist his magic for its own malevolent ends. As demons track Ross to Seattle, neither he nor those he cares for are safe. His sole hope lies with Nest Freemark, a college student wielding extraordinary magic of her own. Five years prior, Ross aided Nest when the fate of humanity hinged on her choice between Word and Void. Now, Nest must return the favor, restoring Ross's shattered faith, for if she fails, both their lives—and potentially the world—will be forfeit.
