Reviews"Brett's custom blend of action and suspense, stirred into a unique magic system, has been justifiably a fan favorite for 15 years." --Robin Hobb, New York Times bestselling author of The Farseer Trilogy "As a genre, Fantasy promises so much, and in The Warded Man , Peter V. Brett delivers in spectacular fashion. Books like this are why we read fiction, and most of us spend an entire lifetime searching for a story as good as this one. Read it, and there'll forever be a divide: Life before The Warded Man and life after it. That's how good it is." --Evan Winter, author of The Rage of Dragons "There are fantasy books that are all about the plot, fantasy books that are all about the characters, and fantasy books that are all about the worldbuilding. The Warded Man manages to be about all of that. A compelling read, inventive, fascinating, and demons . . . so many demons." --Mark Lawrence, international bestselling author of The Book that Wouldn't Burn " The Warded Man works not only as a great adventure novel but also as a reflection on the nature of heroism." --Charlaine Harris "I enjoyed The Warded Man immensely. There is much to admire in Peter Brett's writing, and his concept is brilliant. There's action and suspense all the way, plus he made me care about his characters and want to know what's going to happen next." --Terry Brooks "Brett's debut builds slowly and grimly on a classic high fantasy framework of black-and-white morality and bloodshed. . . . With its nameless enemies that exist only to kill, Brett's gritty tale will appeal to those who tire of sympathetic villains and long for old-school orc massacres." -- Publishers Weekly "An absolute masterpiece . . . The novel [is] literally 'unputdownable,' and certainly deserves to be the next Big Thing in dark fantasy." --HorrorScope "A very accomplished debut fantasy, broad in its scope." --SFRevu "A fabulous new fantasy series . . . that is likely to become a classic. Excellent fantasy literature." -- The Cairns Post , Queensland, Australia, "Brett's debut builds slowly and grimly on a classic high fantasy framework of black-and-white morality and bloodshed. Young Arlen battles demons to save his mother while his father watches in terror; when his mother dies, Arlen runs away. Leesha leaves her village to work in the city hospital of Angiers after her betrothed claims to have taken her virginity. Jongleur Arrick Sweetsong saved himself from demons at the expense of a female friend, but he honors her last request and raises her son, Rojer, as his apprentice. Only near the end do the three strands of the story begin to intertwine. With its nameless enemies that exist only to kill, Brett's gritty tale will appeal to those who tire of sympathetic villains and long for old-school orc massacres."-- Publishers Weekly "I enjoyed The Warded Man immensely.

Series Volume Number1
SynopsisAs darkness falls after sunset, the corelings rise--demons who possess supernatural powers and burn with a consuming hatred of humanity. For hundreds of years the demons have terrorized the night, slowly culling the human herd that shelters behind magical wards--symbols of power whose origins are lost in myth and whose protection is terrifyingly fragile. It was not always this way. Once, men and women battled the corelings on equal terms, but those days are gone. Night by night the demons grow stronger, while human numbers dwindle under their relentless assault. Now, with hope for the future fading, three young survivors of vicious demon attacks will dare the impossible, stepping beyond the crumbling safety of the wards to risk everything in a desperate quest to regain the secrets of the past. Together, they will stand against the night. Look for Peter V.

Great Fantasy Novel!
This is the first book of a series of novels by Peter Brett. This is easily one of the best novels I have ever read. It has so much action and adventure you will not want to put it down. I had to purchase the rest of the series after reading this novel because I didn't want the story to end. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves reading fantasy novels.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

I purchased these as a gift for Christmas. They are paperbacks but arrived to me in perfect condition, no dog ears. I also paid just a little over the cost for one hardcover book and I was able to procure the set. This was a good purchase and they arrived in a very timely manner.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
