A story of good versus evil - man versus monster.
For hundreds of years, human lives have been dictated by Corelings, night-stalking demons that rise from the Earth's core and take pleasure in the destruction of humankind. When the sun sets, the only protection from certain death lies behind wards, ancient patterns that convey various powers. In a world where humans are set on hiding, this installment of the proposed trilogy, introduces three characters who will grow up to learn the importance of taking a stand.
A fantastic tale, an outstanding first novel, just a damn good read! The second in the trilogy, The Desert Spear, is now out in hardcover as well.
