  WIZARD

  AT LARGE

  It all began when the half-able wizard Questor Thews announced that, finally, he could restore the Court Scribe Abernathy to human form. It was his spell that had turned Abernathy into a Wheaten Terrier—though with hands and the ability to talk.

  All went well—until the wizard breathed in the magic dust of his spell and suddenly sneezed. Then, where Abernathy stood, there was only a bottle containing a particularly evil imp.

  High Lord Ben Holiday set forth for Earth, but without the soil of Landover in which to root as a tree at times, Willow could not long survive.

  That left it up to Questor Thews to save them. And to make matters worse, the imp had escaped …

  THE TANGLE

  BOX

  Everything should have been quiet and pleasant for Ben Holiday, former Chicago lawyer become sovereign of the Magic Kingdom of Landover. But it wasn’t.

  Horris Kew, conjurer, confidence man, and trickster, had returned to Landover from Bens own world, sent by the Gorse, a sorcerer of great evil, whom Horris had unwittingly freed from the magic Tangle Box.

  Ben’s idyll was interrupted when Rydall, a king of lands beyond the fairy mist, threatened to invade unless Ben met his challenge. But Ben could not refuse, for Mistaya had been snatched from her guardians by foul magic. And Rydall held the key to her fate …

  RUNNING WITH

  THE DEMON

  A Novel of Good and Evil

  by Terry Brooks

  Twenty years ago, Terry Brooks turned fantasy fiction on its head with The Sword of Shannara, the first fantasy novel to make the mainstream bestseller lists, and the first in an unbroken string of thirteen bestselling books.

  Now Brooks does nothing less than revitalize fantasy fiction again, inventing the complex and powerful new mythos of the Word and the Void, good versus evil still, but played out in the theater-in-the-round of the “real world” of our present.

  RUNNING WITH THE DEMON:

  A KNIGHT OF THE WORD

  by Terry Brooks

  In accepting the black runestaff that channeled the magic of the Word, John Ross accepted a solemn trust—and a terrible burden. Each night he dreams of hellish futures wrought upon the world by the Void. Each dream is of a future that will come to pass unless Ross can prevent it in the present. He drifts across America, a modern-day knight errant in search of the agents of the Void.

  But when an unspeakable act of violence shatters his weary beliefs, John Ross turns his back on the Word. A fallen Knight makes a tempting prize for the Void, so merciless demons soon stalk Ross and those close to him. His only hope is Nest Freemark. She must restore Ross’s faith, or else his life—and her own—will be forfeit …

  A KNIGHT OF THE WORD:

  ANGEL FIRE EAST

  by Terry Brooks

  As a Knight of the Word, John Ross has struggled against the tireless dark forces of the Void for twenty-five years. But for all his power, John Ross is only one man, while the demons he hunts—and which hunt him in turn—are legion.

  Then Ross learns of the birth of a gypsy morph, a rare and dangerous creature formed of wild magics spontaneously knit together. If he can discover its secret, the morph could be an invaluable weapon against the Void. But the Void, too, knows the value of the morph, and will not rest until the creature has been corrupted—or destroyed.

  Desperate, Ross returns to the town of Hopewell, Illinois, home of Nest Freemark. Together they must face an ancient evil beyond anything they have ever encountered. As a firestorm of good and evil erupts, threatening to consume lives and shatter dreams, Ross and Nest have but a single chance to solve the mystery of the gypsy morph—and of their own profound connection.
