The Daylight War

In a world where humanity cowers behind wards each night, terrorized by the rise of demonic corelings, the fate of mankind rests precariously on two towering figures. Arlen Bales, known as the Warded Man, strives to be a reluctant savior, teaching humanity to fight back while denying his prophesied role as the Deliverer. His journey has taken him across the ravaged lands, battling the demons and discovering ancient secrets to empower humanity against their nocturnal predators. However, his path collides violently with that of Ahmann Jardir, the charismatic and brutal Krasian Deliverer, who has united his desert tribes under a strict religious dogma to launch a holy war against the corelings and, ultimately, against all who stand in his way. As their past friendship turns to bitter rivalry, both men lay claim to the mantle of leadership, each convinced their method is the only way to save humanity. 'The Daylight War' deepens the complex lore of the Demon Cycle, exploring the cultural clashes and personal sacrifices required to survive in a world constantly on the brink of annihilation, forcing readers to question who truly holds the key to mankind's salvation.
