( Continuing the impressive debut fantasy series from aut...)
Continuing the impressive debut fantasy series from author Peter V. Brett, The Daylight War is book three of the "Demon Cycle", pulling the reader into a world of demons, darkness and heroes. On the night of a new moon all shadows deepen. Humanity has thirty days to prepare for the next demon attack, but one month is scarcely enough time to train a village to defend themselves, let alone an entire continent caught in the throes of civil war. Arlen Bales understands the coreling threat better than anyone. Born ordinary, the demon plague has shaped him into a weapon so powerful he has been given the unwanted title of saviour, and attracted the attention of deadly enemies both above and below ground. Unlike Arlen, Ahmann Jardir embraces the title of Deliverer. His strength resides not only in the legendary relics he carries, but also in the magic wielded by his first wife, Inevera, a cunning and powerful priestess whose allegiance even Jardir cannot be certain of. Once Arlen and Jardir were like brothers. Now they are the bitterest of rivals. As humanity's enemies prepare, the only two men capable of defeating them are divided against each other by the most deadly demons of all: those that lurk in the human heart.

The stunning debut fantasy novel from author Peter V. Brett. The Painted Man, book one of the Demon Cycle, is a captivating and thrilling fantasy adventure, pulling the reader into a world of demons, darkness and heroes.Voted one of the top ten fantasy novels of 2008 by amazon.co.uk. Sometimes there is very good reason to be afraid of the dark...Eleven-year-old Arlen lives with his parents on their small farmstead, half a day's ride from the isolated hamlet of Tibbet's Brook. As dusk falls upon Arlen's world, a strange mist rises from the ground; a mist that promises a violent death to any foolish enough to brave the coming darkness, for hungry corelings - demons that cannot be harmed by mortal weapons - materialize from the vapours to feed on the living. As the sun sets, people have no choice but to take shelter behind magical wards and pray that their protection holds until the creatures dissolve with the first signs of dawn. When Arlen's life is shattered by the demon plague, he is forced to see that it is fear, rather than the demons, which truly cripples humanity. Believing that there is more to his world than to live in constant fear, he must risk leaving the safety of his wards to discover a different path.In the small town of Cutter's Hollow, Leesha's perfect future is destroyed by betrayal and a simple lie. Publicly shamed, she is reduced to gathering herbs and tending an old woman more fearsome than the corelings. Yet in her disgrace, she becomes the guardian of dangerous ancient knowledge. Orphaned and crippled in a demon attack, young Rojer takes solace in mastering the musical arts of a Jongleur, only to learn that his unique talent gives him unexpected power over the night.Together, these three young people will offer humanity a last, fleeting chance of survival.

( Humanity has been brought to the brink of extinction. E...)
Humanity has been brought to the brink of extinction. Each night the world is overrun by demons - bloodthirsty creatures of nightmare that have been hunting and killing humanity for over 300 years. A scant few hamlets and half-starved city-states are all that remain of a once-proud civilization, and it is only by hiding behind wards, ancient symbols with the power to repel the demons, that anyone has been able to survive. A handful of Messengers brave the night to keep the lines of communication open among the increasingly isolated populace. But there was a time when the demons were not so bold. A time when wards did more than hold the demons at bay: They allowed man to fight back, and to win. Messenger Arlen Bales will search anywhere, dare anything, to return this magic to the world. Abban, a merchant in the Great Bazaar of Krasia, purports to sell everything a man's heart could desire, including, perhaps, the key to Arlen's quest.

(The Warded Man - With darkness come the corelings-demons ...)
The Warded Man - With darkness come the corelings-demons of sand, wind, rock, wood and flame, who rise like mist from the ground and terrorize the humans sheltering behind fragile wards, magical symbols whose origins are lost in myth. Once, men and women battled the corelings, armed with powerful wards that could harm the demons and stop their advance. But those days are gone. The fighting wards are lost. And the demons grow stronger, while human numbers dwindle under their relentless assault. The Desert Spear - Humanity's wait for the Deliverer-the promised leader who will save them from the demons of the night-is over...but who is he? The people of the green lands claim he is the Warded Man, a forbidding figure whose magical tattoos make him a match for any demon. But out of the desert comes one who has proclaimed himself the Deliverer. Ahmann Jardir carries ancient weapons-a spear and a crown-that give credence to his claim. Now he has come north with his demon-killing army to unite the city-states against demonkind...and anyone else who stands in his way. What neither man knows is that a new breed of demon has sprung up from the Core-a demon more intelligent and deadly than any that have come before. The Daylight War - The demons rule the night. But humanity is fighting back. It's true that when the sun sets, the demons emerge and rule the world with an iron fist. But the core-spawn are not unbeatable. Humanity is developing new wards and weapons to take the demons down. Yet humanity may well be its own worst enemy. Civil war rages between north and south, dividing the forces of daylight, weakening them for their struggle against demonrule. Now it's up to Arlen-the Warded Man-and Jardir-the self-proclaimed Shar'Dama Ka, the Deliverer-to end the strife, unite their people and take the battle to the real enemy

The Deliverer has returned, but who is he?Arlen Bales, formerly of the small hamlet of Tibbet's Brook, learnt harsh lessons about life as he grew up in a world where hungry demons stalk the night and humanity is trapped by its own fear. He chose a different path; chose to fight inherited apathy and the corelings, and eventually he became the Painted Man, a reluctant saviour. But the figure emerging from the desert, calling himself the Deliverer, is not Arlen. He is a friend and betrayer, and though he carries the spear from the Deliverer's tomb, he also heads a vast army intent on a holy war against the demon plague - and anyone else who stands in his way.
