Angel Fire East — Terry Brooks

As a Knight of the Word, John Ross has struggled against the tireless dark forces of the Void for twenty-five years with the magic he wields. Now Ross has learned 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 Hopewell, Illinois, home of Nest Freemark, a young woman with magical abilities of her own. Twice before they have prevailed against the Void. Now they face an ancient evil beyond anything they have ever encountered, for a demon of ruthless intelligence and feral cunning awaits them in Hopewell...
