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 way. Once, men and women battled the
corelings on equal terms, but those days are gone. Night by night the
demons grow stronger, while human numbers dwindle under their
relentless assault. Now, with hope for the future fading, three young
survivors of vicious demon attacks will dare the impossible, stepping
beyond the crumbling safety of the wards to risk everything in a
desperate quest to regain the secrets of the past. Together, they will
stand against the night.(
