As darkness falls after sunset the corelings rise demons who possess supernatural powers and
burn with a consuming hatred of humanity.For hundreds of years the demons have terrorized the
night slowly culling the human herd that shelters behind magical wards symbols of power whose
origins are lost in myth and whose protection is terrifyingly fragile. It was not always this

by night the demons grow stronger while human numbers dwindle under their relentless assault.

desperate quest to regain the secrets of the past. Together they will stand against the
night.Look for Peter V. Brett s complete Demon Cycle: THE WARDED MAN THE DESERT SPEAR THE
