by Peter V. Brett / Karen Novak / Johann Dettweiler / Joe Brack · The Demon Cycle series

Humanity cowers behind wards each night as demons rise from the earth's core to hunt. Three young people — a messenger, a warrior woman, and a ward-carver — search for the lost combat wards that might let them fight back. Brett's debut is brutal high-stakes fantasy where survival is never guaranteed.
