The Daylight War (Book 3 of the Demon Cycle) by Peter V. Brett

Peter V. Brett's The Demon Cycle series is astoundingly full of original concepts and non-stop action. The Daylight War continues this tradition as Arlen and Jardir continue to butt heads. The Warded Man just wants to help the people alongside his love Renna - he does not consider himself the Deliverer even if everyone else keeps insisting that he is. He discovers a scary new breed of demon that can control not only the minds of other demons but of people as well. Jardir continues to move forward in his Daylight War but has his sights set on making Leesha one of his many wives when she travels to try and make peace with him to save Deliverer's Hollow, her home. War rages on not only between humans and demons but between Leesha, Jardir and his jealous wife.
Full of action that climaxes in a cliff-hanger ending that will leave you breathless the Daylight War awesome. You will be biting your nails with nervous energy waiting for the next installment.The Demon Cycle is a must for all epic fantasy fans!
  5 out of 5 stars!!

The Desert Spear (Book 2 of the Demon Cycle) by Peter V. Brett

In this second installment of the Demon Cycle you get more of Jardir's background. How he came to believe himself to be the Deliverer and the influence of his powerful and influential wife. You will get more information on how he and Arlen became friends and just what life in Krasian is like. Every night the chosen men, Sharum, battle demons in an arena they have made. They do not believe in hiding indoors - that is for women and children.

There is a new breed of demon never before seen and both Arlen (the warded man) and Jardir will be push to their limits to overcome its influence.

Full of action from beginning to end The Desert Spear is a must, especially is you have read The Warded Man. 5 out of 5 stars.

The Warded Man (book 1 of the Demon Cycle) by Peter V. Brett

This is one of my favorite series and I can't wait for the fourth installment. I usually have a hard time describing it but I'll do my best. At one time mankind was in a battle with demons for control of the night. Eventually we developed battle wards and such and were able to beat-back the demon scourge enough that they ceased coming to our world. People became complacent and forgot the battle wards.
Unfortunately the demons didn't forget and after the numbers had increased they returned to slaughter mankind.
Most people cowered in fear, hiding behind protection wards at night but when one young boy - Arlen- witnesses his mother's mutilation and subsequent death due in part to his father's inaction and fear things change. He sets out on a journey to find people who battle the demons not just hide from them and his life is changed forever.
He becomes a man, the warded man and to many the Deliverer though it is a title he does not relish. In desperation after being betrayed by a friend and let for dead in the desert he wards his body to survive.

But there is a Krasian man who was once his Arlen's friend who fancies himself the Deliverer. He sets out to conquer, for what he thinks is the good of man, the other kingdoms for soldiers in his war against the demons.
Together with Leesha, a young healer and Rojer man who uses a fiddle to sooth the savage demons; Arlen must teach others to take back the night and control of their lives.

This is the debut novel of Peter V. Brett and it is a magnificent one. He is one of my favorite authors and his Demon Cycle series is worth every penny you will spend!
