“There’s little knowledge about daemons. I do know that your strength relates directly to your eyes—eyes that immobilize demons until you look away. They’ve often been linked to being demigods. All those myths of demigods have been daemons. I know a lot about their history, though—most of them were either murdered at birth, as their communities believed them to be witches, or they took their own lives due to the strain of being ostracized. Death was their curse and blessing.”
