The Painted Man by Peter V. Brett6/8/2023 But the humans have weapons, of a sort, that can be brought to bare on the demons known as wards, these are magical symbols which are painted or carved onto walls, doors, even windows, and they form a barrier through which the demons cannot break – well, sometimes they do, and when this happens, the surviving people of the Free Cities and hamlets are left to pick up the pieces, mourn their dead, and rebuild for the next attack.īut even though the premise of this novel is simple, it is also elegant and unique. The story, once you boil it down to its constituent parts, is quite simple: humankind live in fear of demons, collectively called Corelings, that rise from the earth as soon as the sun sets and return to the earth just before the sun rises these demons come in many shapes and forms, and all are united in one purpose – the utter destruction of mankind. It is with great pleasure that I announce the arrival of Peter V Brett onto the fantasy scene! I have just finished his novel, The Painted Man, Book One in the Demon Trilogy, and have no doubt that Brett’s talent, abounding in this book, will only grow with time.
