Wand Smoke: Tales from the Labyrinth: Demons (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798286055944)

A Tale of Redemption in a Demon-Haunted Desert

In the blistering Skr ling Steppe, where every shadow hides a Demon, a cursed wanderer called Runs-in-the-Sun races to outrun his past. Once a dreamer who sought an oasis for his village, his pride unleashed a cataclysm, reducing his home to dust and his body to a poisonous cactus. Now, pursued by his own monstrous shadow-possessed by the Demon Spirit of Terror-he survives on bitter fruit torn from his flesh, haunted by guilt and regret.

When he discovers three Spirit-scarred sisters trapped in a slave cart, Runs-in-the-Sun sees a chance for redemption. Stealing them from clashing tribesmen, he plunges into a desperate sprint across the demon-infested desert. As monstrous djinn and ravenous Demon Spirits close in, he must confront his tragic past and the sisters' own cursed fates to protect them.

Will Runs-in-the-Sun outpace his shadow and save the sisters, or will the Demons of the Steppe devour them all?

Dive into this gripping dark fantasy novella of sacrifice, courage, and redemption in a desert waste like in Jack Vance's Tales of the Dying Earth described with the poetry of Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian!
