Yet as old allegiances are tested and fresh alliances forged, all are unaware of the appearance of a new breed of demon, more intelligent-and deadly-than any that have come before.īONUS: Now with twenty pages of bonus material, including an exclusive interview with Peter V. Once, the Shar’Dama Ka and the Warded Man were friends. Bretts complete Demon Cycle: THE WARDED MAN THE DESERT SPEAR THE DAYLIGHT WAR THE SKULL THRONE THE CORE. The first book The Warded Man is very entertaining and also. But the Northerners claim their own Deliverer: the Warded Man, a dark, forbidding figure. The Desert Spear is the second book of the Demon Cycle series, apparently five volumes are planned.

He has proclaimed himself Shar’Dama Ka, the Deliverer, and he carries ancient weapons-a spear and a crown-that give credence to his claim. Out of the desert rides Ahmann Jardir, who has forged the desert tribes into a demon-killing army. Book name: The Desert Spear Author: Peter V Brett Publisher: Del Rey Format: ebook, print, audiobook Genre: Fantasy Publication Date: 2011 Star Rating: 5/5 The Desert Spear is the sequel to The Painted Man, Peter V Brett's debut novel, which I enjoyed very much. I was taken in by the strong characters, the easy pace and the imaginative magic system.

But is the return of the Deliverer just another myth? Perhaps not. The Warded Man snuck its way onto my Best Novels of 2009 list. Legends tell of a Deliverer: a general who once bound all mankind into a single force that defeated the demons. The night now belongs to voracious demons that prey upon a dwindling population forced to cower behind half-forgotten symbols of power.
