Praise for Terry Brooks
In this exciting first of a new fantasy trilogy, bestseller Brooks
effortlessly connects the Tolkien-infused magic of his Shannara books (First
King of Shannara, etc.) with the urban, postapocalyptic world of his Word and
the Void series (Running with the Demon, etc.). The author envisions a
chilling near-future U.S., where civilization has collapsed from
environmental degradation, plagues, global warfare and supernatural threats.
The last surviving members of the Knights of the Word, Logan Tom and Angel
Perez, seek to keep the "balance of the world's magic in check" as they
battle the Void-embodied by demons, their leader Findo Cask and their vicious
human mutant counterparts known as "once-men." The Ghosts, an endearing tribe
of street teens led by the resourceful Hawk, also scrabble for survival.
Meanwhile, the human-demon war threatens the coexisting Elven nation.
Longtime Brooks fans and newcomers will be riveted as the fate of the human
and Elven worlds hangs in the balance.
—Publisher's Weekly(starred)
"A great storyteller, Terry Brooks creates rich epics filled with
mystery, magic, and memorable characters. If you haven't read Terry Brooks,
you haven't read fantasy."
—Christopher Paolini, author of Eragon
"Terry's place is at the head of the fantasy world."
—Philip Pullman, author of The Golden Compass
