I will be cutting the novel into four sections, which will follow the timeline perfectly. Maybe humanity can rise and face these things. But amidst the horror’s of demons rising from the ground every night, there are moments of hope. The story is dark, violent with a morally gray protagonist. While the story’s main protagonist is Arlen, much of the story is devoted to other intriguing characters that will play a pivotal role in Arlen’s and the world’s future. The collected belief at the time across the various cultures of the land was that the monsters are a punishment for humanity’s many sins. The experience stays with him, and as he ages, he begins to realize how much the demons are holding humanity back. The first novel of the series, The Warded Man, sets the stage and follows Arlen, an apprentice Warder, who as a child witnessed first hand the demons wreaking havoc. Since then, there have been four more books in the series with multiple short stories interwoven between them. “It was about a little boy named Arlen who loved to wander, but he could never go more than half a day from home, because if he wasn’t back before dark, the demons would get him.” However, the novel started as a short story Brett wrote while attending NYU in 1998. I first read The Warded Man when it was first released years ago, which introduced me to Peter V. With the yawning of each night, the demons are banished with the light. The story preys not only on a human’s fear of what lies in the dark but of the supernatural other. Often this is not enough, and humans are dragged out into the dark. Humans have come to fear the night and shelter behind stone homes covered with ancient wards that offer a modicum of protection. Brett’s Demon Cycle series, is a series based around a world where demons called corelings rise from the ground each night and ravage the countryside.
