Word & Void
From The World of Shannara
The Word & Void novel series (or The Word and The Void) by Terry Brooks is a trilogy of dark urban fantasy novels primarily set in Illinois in the late 20th and early 21st century. The series focuses on John Ross and Nest Freemark, forced acquaintances who use magic given to them from the Word (the embodiment of good in the world) to prevent mankind from being overcome by the demonic forces of the Void.
Genesis of Shannara, Brooks' latest trilogy recently completed, bridges this series with the Shannara novels.
