As darkness falls, the demons will rise: This first book in the Demon Cycle series by New York Times bestselling author Peter V. Brett has been ”justifiably a fan favorite for fifteen years.” (Robin Hobb)
The story follows three main characters: Arlen, Leesha, and Rojer. Arlen, a young boy living in a small village, witnesses the brutal death of his mother at the hands of demons and vows to fight back against them. Leesha, a young woman with a talent for herbology, struggles to find her place in society while navigating the expectations placed upon her. Rojer, a jongleur (a traveling entertainer), discovers a unique ability to control demons through music after a tragic event in his past.
As the characters grow and develop, they each play a crucial role in the fight against the Corelings. Arlen seeks out ancient knowledge and develops new weapons to combat the demons. Leesha uses her skills as an herbalist to aid the injured and help her community. Rojer learns to harness his musical talents to protect others and inspire hope.
