Publisher's Summary

Mankind has ceded the night to the corelings, demons that rise up out of the ground each day at dusk, killing and destroying at will until dawn, when the sun banishes them back to the Core. As darkness falls, the world’s few surviving humans hide behind magical wards, praying the magic can see them through another night. As years pass, the distances between each tiny village seem longer and longer. It seems nothing can harm the corelings, or bring humanity back together.    

Born into these isolated hamlets are three children. A Messenger teaches young Arlen that fear, more than the demons, has crippled humanity. Leesha finds her perfect life destroyed by a simple lie and is reduced to gathering herbs for an old woman more fearsome than the demons at night. And Rojer’s life is changed forever when a traveling minstrel comes to his town and plays his fiddle.    

But these three children all have something in common. They are all stubborn and know that there is more to the world than what they’ve been told, if only they can risk leaving their safe wards to find it.

A very enjoyable book

A great first book which builds the world and characters from the ground up- starting them as children was effective. Definitely conveys the hopelessness humanity feels with our characters able to overcome the demons and genuinely evil humans as well.

Graphic Audio was awesome.

amazing book everytime

loved it when I read it. the story line was easier to follow as I already was aware of the three story that are the books begining. I thought the book was read a too fast alot of the time and needed to be a bit more receptive of what the speed could have been. apart from that. i still loved the storyline
