MESSENGER'S LEGACY

Peter V. Brett

A new Demon Cycle novella
DAS ERBE DES KURIERS
Deutsch von Ingrid Herrmann-Nytko
[TB Heyne, 4/15]

Humanity has been brought to the brink of extinction. Each night, the world is overrun by demons—bloodthirsty creatures of nightmare that have been hunting the surface for over 300 years. A scant few hamlets and half-starved city-states are all that remain of a once proud civilization, and it is only by hiding behind wards, ancient symbols with the power to repel the demons, that they survive. A handful of Messengers brave the night to keep the lines of communication open between the increasingly isolated populace.

Briar Damaj is a boy of six in the small village of Bogton. Half Krasian, he is called Mudboy by the village children for his dark skin. When tragedy strikes, Briar decides the town is better off without him, fleeing into the bog with nothing but his wits and a bit of herb lore to protect him.

After twenty years on the open road, Ragen Messenger is starting to feel his age. With his first child on the way, he's has agreed to retire and pass on his route to his protégé, Arlen Bales. But when he learns Briar, the son of an old friend, is missing, Ragen is willing to risk any danger to bring him safely home.
