Items related to The Desert Spear (The Demon Cycle, Book 2)
Continuing the impressive debut fantasy series from author Peter V. Brett, The Desert Spear is book two of the Demon Cycle, pulling the reader into a world of demons, darkness and heroes.
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.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 578 pages. The sun is setting on humanity. The night now belo ngs to voracious demons that prey upon a dwindling population for ced to cower behind half-forgotten symbols of power. Legends tell of a Deliverer: a general who once bound all mankind into a sing le force that defeated the demons. But is the return of the Deliv erer just another myth? Perhaps not. Out of the desert rides Ahma nn Jardir, who has forged the desert tribes 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 creden ce to his claim. But the Northerners claim their own Deliverer: t he 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, al l are unaware of the appearance of a new breed of demon, more int elligent--and deadly--than any that have come before. Now with t wenty pages of bonus material, including an exclusive interview w ith Peter V. Brett. Seller Inventory # 1061e
