Demon's Edge

Twelve unsuspecting strangers ripped from their ordinary lives, thrust into a world where magic pulses through music and the fate of humanity hangs by a thread.

Harmonious crystal power kept a malevolent demon at bay for centuries.

Now the demon has a sinister plan to use these twelve unwitting pawns to eradicate the humans.

Are these twelve destined to become the harbingers of humanity's doom, or will the demon regret bringing them?

Kara, a gifted busker from Salford, and Katy, an HR manager from Wythenshawe, find themselves alongside Oz, an Australian thief, and Jenna, the Canadian cop on his trail.

Axel, who should have dived in the fourth, is with Lucy, a trainee midwife, and David, whose very presence grates on everyone's nerves.

Chris, a bookish math student, Carl, a retired railway engineer, Ben, who is sick, Wendy, on the cusp of becoming a grandmother, and Oscar, the coach driver, complete the twelve.

They're ill-equipped and unprepared to change the world.

Stranded in a hostile desert after a devastating crash, their chances of survival are slim. If they escape, they'll find themselves in a flawed paradise. Humans are no safer than the monsters outside. Can they find a way home before they're forced to fight a battle that isn't theirs to win in a world that isn't their own?

They only wanted to go home.

Their fight for survival has just begun.
