Publisher Description
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • “[Peter V. Brett] confirms his place among epic fantasy’s pantheon of greats amid the likes of George R. R. Martin, Steven Erikson, and Robert Jordan.”—Fantasy Book Critic
The second volume in the internationally bestselling Demon Cycle series continues the epic tale of humanity’s last stand against an army of demons—and reveals a new contender for the role of savior.
The sun is setting on humanity. The night now belongs to voracious demons that prey upon a dwindling population forced to cower behind half-forgotten symbols of power. Legends tell of a Deliverer: a general who once bound all mankind into a single force that defeated the demons. But is the return of the Deliverer just another myth?
Out of the sands rides Ahmann Jardir, who has forged the desert tribes of Krasia into a demon-killing army. He has proclaimed himself Shar’Dama Ka, the Deliverer, and carries ancient weapons—a spear and a crown—that give credence to his claim.
But the Northerners claim their own Deliverer: the Warded Man, a dark, forbidding figure. Once, the Shar’Dama Ka and the Warded Man were friends. Now they are fierce adversaries. 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.
BONUS: Now with twenty pages of bonus material, including an exclusive interview with Peter V. Brett, and an excerpt from Peter V. Brett's The Daylight War.

“Can you give a book a negative star review? I think I wanted to rip my ears out after listening to the first part of this book.
I read the first book and there were parts I didn’t like but I pushed through and overall found a pretty decent book underneath. I couldn’t even get through the first 1/3 of the book. I got around a 1/3 of the way through and had to stop reading. I came for a cool tattooed dude, a magic musician, and a kick butt female scientist. What I got was the villain’s POV trying to make me feel bad for him (I don’t), a lot of useless r4pe, and very thinly veiled anti-Islamic sentiment.
Suddenly we’re in the perspective of the desert man who was the one who took the warded spear from our main character in book one. The warded spear that can kill demons. Not only were we in his POV but were learning all about his history and his past where we get to see a lot of things about their very obviously Islam based society (or Islam according to the author) in which we get a lot of not too subtle ‘this society is horrible, and the people are horrible people’ vibes very quickly. I stopped reading at the very sudden, very intense, and very detailed r4pe scene that felt like it had no place in the story at all. I gave it a single spice rating simply because I DNF’ed it and have no idea what it is in it.
Overall, very very very bad. Couldn’t enjoy any of it all – not even a moment. I give it a 1 out of 5 star review but if I could give it a negative review it would be a solid -5 out of 5 star rating. 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND.”
