Summary
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? Perhaps not. 

 

Out of the desert rides Ahmann 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 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.

 

“A gripping sequel […] emphasizes political and romantic intrigue without losing the urgency of the demon war.”—Booklist

Fascinating story is sharply undermined by the ridiculous amount of gratuitous and unnecessary sexual content.

at first, I thought it was from a different perspective from the first book. but as I listened, it definitely wasn't, and it's good, so far.

Love this series. I really love how every important character has a back story throughout these books so far. Kind of obsessed. Would love this to be turned into a tv series.

I couldn't have asked for a better sequel to The Warded Man! There's no way I'm waiting a month for my next book in this series. I got to keep this series going now! I'll easily pay ASAP for the 3rd book. Best books in this genre that I've gotten through in decades!

sequels don't normally hold up to the original, but enjoyed to the end.

Profile Avatar Daniel Hubbs Jan 2020

fantastic series! I loved it.

Profile Avatar Mark D. Nov 2019

Great, filled out the characters with background, and compelled the storyline forward, wonderfully. The narrator keeps is a true page Turner.

Profile Avatar Patrick T May 2017

Please spare your self and stop after the fist book I can not even finish this one

Profile Avatar Preston Locker Mar 2017

Awesome, really good!! I have really enjoyed it!!

Profile Avatar Kate Buckley May 2016

This is a great series. The narrator is fantastic. The magic and worldbuilding are superb. The only thing keeping it from a 5 star for the book is that I've read books I love more and they are a high standard: Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastards, Rothfuss's Kingkiller Chronicles, and Sanderson's Stormlight Archives.
