Synopsis

In a sleepy steel-mill town, the ultimate battle between Good and Evil is about to begin . . .

Sinnissippi Park, in Hopewell, Illinois, has long hidden a mysterious evil, locked away from humankind by powers greater than most could even imagine. But now the malevolent creatures that normally skulk in the shadows of the park grow bolder, and old secrets hint at a violent explosion.

The brewing conflict draws John Ross to Hopewell. A Knight of the Word, Ross is plagued by nightmares that tell him someone evil is coming to unleash an ancient horror upon the world. Caught between them is fourteen-year-old Nest Freemark, who senses that something is terribly wrong but has not yet learned to wield the budding power that sets her apart from her friends.

Now the future of humanity depends upon a man haunted by his dreams and a gifted young girl--two souls who will discover what survives when hope and innocence are shattered forever . . .

This book gets 2 stars only if you're expecting a YA read & not much else. Actually, it's kind of a neat idea, but the execution was horrib......more

Goodreads review by Werner on November 23, 2019

Note, Nov. 23, 2019: I've just completely re-edited this review, because in the 17 years since I read the book, and the 11 years since I reviewed it, my assessment has changed significantly. Brooks is best known as a fantasy author, but I've classified this work as supernatural fiction because it's s......more

Goodreads review by Mike (the Paladin) on September 28, 2009

Sorry about this book (and the two that follow it) I couldn't escape the feeling that they could have been so much better. A good idea with what I felt was poor execution. I note that after the trilogy he started a series based on the failure of his protaginists in this series...ouch.......more
