After sunset, the corelings—demons with magical abilities and a burning animosity against humans—rise into the darkness. The demons have haunted the night for hundreds of years, gradually eliminating the human herd that takes refuge behind mystical wards, which are very flimsy protections with mythological roots. This wasn't always the case. Gone are the days when men and women engaged in equal-opportunity combat with the corelings. As the demons intensify their attacks every night, the number of humans diminishes due to their constant onslaught. Now that hope for the future is dwindling, three young people who have survived violent demon assaults will risk everything in a desperate attempt to uncover the truths of the past by daring to walk beyond the deteriorating safety of the wards. They shall resist the darkness together.
