DescriptionIn this enthralling first book of the DemonWars Saga, a great evil has been roused in the idyllic yet fragile land of Corona. A dreaded demon, insidious and malevolent, seeks to plunge the world into chaos. Unleashing his goblin armies and monstrous giants, he leaves a path of devastation in his wake, targeting the peaceful settlements that dot the frontier. One of the many victims of his wrath is the small village of Dundallis, where two children, Pony and her loyal friend Elbryan, witness the slaughter that brands them for life.
Orphaned by tragedy, Elbryan is taken in by the mysterious and wise elves who reside in the deep forests. Under their guidance, he is nurtured and trained, honing his skills to become a formidable ranger. His destiny, intertwined with the fate of his homeland, propels him on a path fraught with danger and heroism. Elbryan's journey will demand not only bravery but also cunning and an unyielding resolve as he faces monstrous foes and unimaginable trials.
Simultaneously, on a distant island shrouded in enigma, a storm of gemstones rains upon the black sands. These celestial stones, imbued with unparalleled power, hold the delicate balance between all that is good and all that is malevolent in the world. Within the walls of a corrupt monastery, where greed and treachery prevail, a young monk named Avelyn struggles to liberate the stones from sinister hands. His solitary mission becomes a beacon of hope – or doom – depending on the choices he makes.
The Demon Awakens is a mesmerising tale that delves deep into themes of heartache, courage, and the ceaseless battle between light and darkness. R. A. Salvatore's meticulous storytelling and masterful character development ensure that readers will find themselves engrossed in a rich, immersive world where every page brings thrilling and poignant discoveries.
Join Elbryan Wynden and Avelyn in their quest for justice and peace in this spellbinding adventure that promises to captivate the imagination and the heart.
