Synopsis

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, the village children call him Mudboy 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, Ragen Messenger has agreed to retire and pass on his route to his protégé, Arlen Bales. But for all that he's earned the rest, he has no idea what to do with the rest of his life. When he learns Briar, the son of an old friend, is missing, Ragen is willing to risk any danger to bring him safely home.

Goodreads review by Terence

(Note: After reading The Skull Throne, the story in Messenger's Legacy feels more poignant because Briar makes his main series debut in The Skull Throne without a real back story other than this book.) Messenger's Legacy is an essential read for any fan of The Demon Cycle series. The book revolves ar......more

Goodreads review by Gavin

This Demon Cycle novella gave a glimpse into the lives of a few familiar secondary characters in the form of Arlen's adoptive parents Ragen and Alissa and introduced a new character in Briar Damaj. It was good to get a glimpse of how things are going for Ragen and Alissa and I enjoyed their learning......more

Goodreads review by Matthew

I was excited to read Messenger's Legacy. As a long time fan of Brett's Demon Cycle Saga I looked forward to jumping back into a world where humanity is on the brink of disaster.
