Eleven year old Arlen lives with his parents on their small farmstead, half a day's ride from the isolated hamlet of Tibbet's Brook. As darkness falls each evening, mist rises from the ground and demons materialize to feed on anything they can find in the darkness. It is useless to fight. Only death awaits those who face the creatures. Most people hide behind magical wards, praying that they will see the dawn. But when Arlen's life is touched by the demon plague, he chooses a different path, realising that it is fear, rather then the demons, which cripples humanity. He knows there is more to the world than he's been told, if only he can risk leaving the safety of his wards to find it.

Pretty Good
It was a very tightly packed novel and a great first attempt for a new author as well. Enough to make me want to read the next one in the series.
Rating : 9/10
