Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In modern-day England, brothers Nick and Alan try to live a normal life. They get jobs, Nick goes to school (at Alan's insistence), Alan has crushes on girls (and girls have crushes on Nick).Of course, Nick starts right off rescuing his favorite sword from under the sink (and don't think he won't use it), Alan could shoot you before you realized that sweet, smiling guy even knew what a gun was, they've got to watch out for mad Mum in the attic, and they're forced to pack up and move every time a magician or demon bursts into their house. Which is once every couple of months. At best.Enter Jamie and Mae, a brother-sister duo who witness the latest demonic intrusion and need Nick and Alan's help: Jamie's been marked by a demon, a mark that lets a demon trace, hurt, and eventually possess him, leaving nothing of him behind. Alan wants to help them; Nick wants them out of his house. Naturally, brotherly arguments ensue.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Between running from, beating up, capturing, killing, and attempting to outmaneuver scheming magicians, of course.The Demon's Lexicon is the debut book of author Sarah Rees Brennan. It's the first in a trilogy. The second, The Demon's Covenant, was released in May 2010, and the third, The Demon's Surrender, was released in June 2011.

And I Must Scream: Being possessed by a demon is this. Imagine being trapped in your body, unable to speak, as a foreign presence invades you and takes over your autonomy. First there's the fighting, the refusal to capitulate, and the demons love that. They respond with torture, every form of mental and emotional and not-quite-physical pain, and you can't even cry out because you have no voice any longer. Then you beg, you plead, for a reprieve from the pain, for your soul back, but demons have no empathy to be moved by human grief. The only thing left is to strike a bargain, but there's no bargain you can make that the demon won't win.
