Hopewell, Illinois, is simmering with unrest. A bitter steel strike divides the town, but something far more sinister is at work.
On the hottest Fourth of July weekend in decades, two men arrive—one a demon, feeding on the town’s anger to fuel a dark and terrible plan; the other, John Ross, a Knight of the Word, burdened with visions of the future’s destruction. If he fails, the world will descend into nightmare.
At the heart of this battle is fourteen-year-old Nest Freemark, mysteriously linked to both men. As fireworks explode overhead, the fate of Hopewell—and humanity itself—will be decided.
A gripping blend of urban fantasy and mythic struggle, Running with the Demon is Terry Brooks at his most haunting and visionary.
