Books like The gypsy morph by Terry Brooks

Eighty years into the future, the United States has become a barren no‑man's land, its government shattered and its people scattered in fortified compounds. Chemical warfare, pollution, and plague have turned the landscape into a deadly wasteland, spawning roaming predators, rogue militias, and hideous mutations. Amid this chaos, the last of humanity faces an enemy beyond death—demons and the forces of the Void intent on total subjugation. Against this grim backdrop, a coalition of good fighters rises. Logan Tom, a Knight of the Word, wields the legendary magic staff and carries a promise to protect the world’s only hope of salvation while seeking vengeance for the demon that slaughtered his family. His companion, Angel Perez, has risked everything to aid the elvish race, whose hidden realm is under threat from the Void’s reign. Young elf Kirisin Belloruus bears ancient magic that could deliver his civilization from monstrous armies, and the rootless boy Hawk must guide humanity toward a promised land before final darkness descends. "The Gypsy Morph" is the concluding installment of the first phase of Terry Brooks’s Shannara saga, an epic battle between the forces of the Word and the Void, and a story of a world in flux where mortal struggles give way to a rising magical hope.
