Two exciting short stories set in the engrossing world of The Demon Cycle from bestselling fantasy author Peter V. Brett.

Nogle gange er der god grund til at frygte mørket…Arlen bor med sine forældre på deres lille gård. Hver nat, når tusmørket sætter ind, rejser der sig en rædsom tåge fra jorden, der varsler død for enhver, der er tåbelig nok til at vove sig ud i det kommende mørke. Hadefulde dæmoner dannes ud af tågen for at få tilfredsstillet deres sult efter mennesker. I takt med at skyggerne bliver længere, tvinges menneskene til at søge ly bag magiske runer og bede til, at deres beskyttelse vil holde indtil daggry. Men da Arlens verden splintres af dæmonernes hærgen, indser han, at det snarere er frygten for dæmonerne end væsnerne selv, der bliver menneskehedens undergang. Kun hvis menneskene kan overvinde deres egen frygt, kan de gøre sig håb om en dag at overvinde dæmonerne. Arlen må nu tage chancen og forlade runernes ly og sammen med to andre overlevende finde en ny måde at bringe menneskeheden en sidste, flygtig chance for overlevelse.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BUZZFEED The fourth volume in The Demon Cycle, the powerful saga of humans winnowed to the brink of extinction by night-stalking demons, and the survivors who fight back, from New York Times bestselling author Peter V. Brett The Skull Throne of Krasia stands empty. Built from the skulls of fallen generals and demon princes, it is a seat of honor and ancient, powerful magic, keeping the demon corelings at bay. From atop the throne, Ahmann Jardir was meant to conquer the known world, forging its isolated peoples into a unified army to rise up and end the demon war once and for all. But Arlen Bales, the Warded Man, stood against this course, challenging Jardir to a duel he could not in honor refuse. Rather than risk defeat, Arlen cast them both from a precipice, leaving the world without a savior and opening a struggle for succession that threatens to tear the Free Cities of Thesa apart. In the south, Inevera, Jardir's First Wife, must find a way to keep their sons from killing one another and plunging their people into civil war as they strive for glory enough to make a claim to the throne. In the north, Leesha Paper and Rojer Inn struggle to forge an alliance between the duchies of Angiers and Miln against the Krasians before it is too late. Caught in the crossfire is the duchy of Lakton--rich and unprotected, ripe for conquest. All the while, the corelings have been growing stronger, and without Arlen and Jardir, there may be none strong enough to stop them. Only Renna Bales may know more about the fate of the missing men, but she, too, has disappeared. . . . Look for Peter V. Brett's complete Demon Cycle: THE WARDED MAN - THE DESERT SPEAR - THE DAYLIGHT WAR - THE SKULL THRONE - THE CORE

But the spirit of Queen Gheta lives on... a fierce and unnatural combatant who may be the only creature in history capable of defeating Sonja. Meanwhile, the demonic entity Bhamothes wreaks havoc in her homeland of Hyrkania... and only the forgiveness of a murdered boy can end its killing spree!
