Written by Darren Shan. First U.S. edition, June 2006. Little, Brown and Company, Hachette Book Group.
"Driven by desperate instinct, I reach towards two patches of purple and orange light. I clap my hands together, driving the patches hard at each other. They smash together and create a blinding flash of purplish-orangey light. The instinct that told me to try this also tells me to close my eyes - quickly!
"When I look a few seconds later, the demons are down, screaming with pain and confusion, eyes melted in their sockets.
"I'm stunned by the power I've unleashed. Confidence comes flooding back. Once again I'm Kernel Fleck - defeater of the Demonata!"
Front Flap
"Kernel Fleck has always known he's weird. He sees lights, strange, multi-colored patches of light swirling through the air. But it's not until a window opens into a demon world, with horrific consequences, that Kernel discovers his powers. As a Disciple, his mission is to hunt the viciously strong Demonata - to the death. ..."
