The Painted Man - epic fantasy
The Painted Man
(Demon Cycle, #1)
Brett, Peter V.
This is a very good book,a fast
page turner,excellent world building,almost unique magic ,deep
character development..and that's exactly what bonded me most to the
story - the characters.
i recommend it for all the Rothfuss and Sanderson lovers-mind me its not the same but it definitely will leave
you with a good aftertaste and an appetite for more.
If you like to know more about the story you can read the underlying description which is a Goodreads copy.
"The time has come to stand against the night.
As
darkness falls each night, the corelings rise–demons who well up from
the ground like hellish steam, taking on fearsome form and substance.
Sand demons. Wood demons. Wind demons. Flame demons. And gigantic rock
demons, the deadliest of all. They possess supernatural strength and
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 mystery, and whose protection is terrifyingly
fragile.
It was not always this way. Once, men and women battled
the corelings on equal terms. Once, under the leadership of the
legendary Deliverer, and armed with powerful wards that were not merely
shields but weapons, they took the battle to the demons . . . and
stopped their advance.
But those days are gone. The fighting
wards are lost. 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.
Arlen will pay any price, embrace any sacrifice, for freedom. His grim journey will take him beyond the bounds of human power.
Crippled
by the demons that killed his parents, Rojer seeks solace in music–only
to discover that music can be a weapon as well as a refuge.
Beautiful
Leesha, who has suffered at the hands of men as well as demons, becomes
an expert healer. But what cures can also harm. . . .
Together, they will stand against the night."
