The Desert Spear
(The second book in the Demon Trilogy series)
Peter V Brett
The sun is setting on humanity. The night now belongs to voracious demons that arise as the sun sets, preying upon a dwindling population forced to cower behind ancient and half-forgotten symbols of power. These wards alone can keep the demons at bay, but legends tell of a Deliverer: a general - some would say prophet - who once bound all mankind into a single force that defeated the demons. Those times, if they ever existed, are long past. The demons are back, and the return of the Deliverer is just another myth . . . or is it?
Out of the desert rides Ahmann Jardir, who has forged the warlike desert tribes of Krasia into a demon-killing army. 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. Sworn to follow the path of the first Deliverer, he has come north to bring the scattered city-states of the green lands together in a war against demonkind - whether they like it or not.
But the northerners claim their own Deliverer. His name was Arlen, but all know him now as the Warded Man: a dark, forbidding figure whose skin is tattooed with wards so powerful they make him a match for any demon. The Warded Man denies that he is the Deliverer, but his actions speak louder than words, for he teaches men and women to face their fears and stand fast against the creatures that have tormented them for centuries.
Once the Shar'Dama Ka and the Warded Man were friends, brothers in arms. Now they are fierce adversaries. Caught between them are Renna, a young woman pushed to the edge of human endurance; Leesha, a proud and beautiful healer whose skill in warding surpasses that of the Warded Man himself; and Rojer, a traveling fiddler whose uncanny music can soothe the demons - or stir them into such frenzy that they attack one another.
Yet as old allegiances are tested and fresh alliances forged, all are blissfully unaware of the appearance of a new breed of demon, more intelligent - and deadly - than any that have come before.
Books I am reading this week
Nothing – I am going to try and get through some reviews this week – Even if it’s just a few line lines.. I have read some fantastic books these past few weeks and I do want to share my thoughts on them…
7 Speak To Me:
Nice! Hope you have a great reading week - here is mine for this week! http://ruthiesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2010/04/its-monday-what-are-you-reading_19.html
You had a good week!
I hope you are feeling a lot better...
I need to read a few naughty books!
Mondays: Mailbox/Musings/whereabouts
I need to get some reviews done this week too...I am so far behind.
I am reading Wicked Ties by Shayla Black...so my list is naughty this week...LOL.
That Desert Spear sounds great -- almost like the old sword and sorcery fantasy of the 1980s. As for my reading list, a whole lot of m/m so I guess it would have to be classified as more naughty than nice (and what would be nice anyway? Cozy mysteries? Inspirational fiction? The Left Behind series, ha, ha!).
I'm currently devouring most if not all of T.A. Chase's work. Love him.
*wolf whistle* love the cover.
I am loving that cover - you hooked me again! :)
Have a great week!
