As darkness falls, hellish demons known as corelings rise from the earth, intent on destroying humanity. For centuries, humanity has sheltered behind magical wards, their only defense against the demons' supernatural powers. But the fighting wards are lost, and the corelings grow stronger with each passing night. Now, three young survivors must dare the impossible—venturing beyond the crumbling safety of the wards in a desperate quest to reclaim the secrets of the past and stop the demons' relentless advance.
