John Ross is a Knight of the Word - a modern-day paladin in search of the demonic agents of the Void. Each night he dreams of hellish futures that will come to pass unless he prevents them in the present. Crippled in body and soul by the searing magic he wields and the horrors he dreams, Ross travels across America, sustained only by his belief in the goodness of the Word. Now he has come to the sleepy steel-mill town of Hopewell, Illinois, prepared to battle for a girl's soul. Aided by the sylvan Pick and the ghost-wolf, Wraith, Nest Freemark is heir to give generations of magic - and is the target of the demons' corruption. If Ross and her magical allies can't save her, she will become the implement of the apocalypse. A KNIGHT OF THE WORD: When his magic could not prevent an unspeakable act of violence, John Ross renounced his mission as a Knight of the Word and settled in Seattle to build a normal life. But a fallen Knight makes a tempting prize for the Void, and merciless demons track him down. Nest, now a college student who wields an extraordinary magic, is his only hope. Five years earlier, Ross had aided her when demons clamored for her soul. Now she must return the favor, or Ross and Nest will pay with their lives. ANGEL FIRE EAST: Ten years later, Ross returns to Hopewell. Christmas is drawing near, but neither Ross nor Nest feels merry, for they face one of the oldest and most ruthless demons of the void. Plagued by nightmares, Ross must capture and protect a creature whose evanescent magic will decide the ages-old war between Word and Void - all before Christmas, when the creature will vanish... and with it, the Word's last hope.
