Barren

Selia Square has been Tibbet's Brook's Speaker for longer than most of the town has been alive, and Barren, the name the Brook gave her, has never stopped stinging. When a new threat presses in during the events of The Core, she must rally a fractious community while the past she buried, the woman she once was and the woman she once loved, comes back to demand its due. Peter V. Brett's novella returns the Demon Cycle to where it began.
