The Warded Man

Peter V. Brett has won accolades from critics, fans, and fellow authors alike for this riveting debut novel. In The Warded Man, Brett envisions a dark reality in which scant vestiges of humanity are faced with a desperate battle for survival.

When the sun sets, the demons rise, terrifying apparitions of unimaginable power. They take many forms: sand, wood, wind, flame. And their purpose is clear. With darkness cloaking the land, the demons exist only to draw blood and drive humans ever closer to extinction. But all is not lost, for some hold out hope that a savior will release mankind from the demons’ brutal reign.
