Humanity has been brought to the brink of extinction. Each night, the world is overrun by demonsâ??bloodthirsty creatures of nightmare that have been hunting and killing humanity for over 300 years. A scant few hamlets and half-starved city-states are all that remain of a once proud civilization, and it is only by hiding behind wards, ancient symbols with the power to repel the demons, that they survive. A handful of Messengers brave the night to keep the lines of communication open between the increasingly isolated populace. But there was a time when the demons were not so bold. A time when wards did more than hold the demons at bay. They allowed man to fight back, and to win. Messenger Arlen Bales will search anywhere, dare anything, to return this magic to the world. Abban, a merchant in the Great Bazaar of Krasia, purports to sell everything a man's heart could desire, including, perhaps, the key to Arlen's quest.… (més)

This book is part of the The Demon War trilogy, but moreso as a fill-in/short side stories way. The first story is The Great Bazaar, which recounts Arlen's time as a Messenger, his relationship with Abban, and leads into how he finds the lost city of Anoch Sun. This was a nice tie-in to the trilogy, and basically only provides minimal needed information to the trilogy. I have enjoyed the character Arlen, that I found this to be a nice read.

The second story is Brayan's Gold, and it actually takes place before The Great Bazaar. It is a story about Arlen's early Messenger days, and his first 'solo' run to the Brayan's Mine. This was a great character development short story, and gives a little more insight to Arlen's way of thinking and beliefs. Also, it introduces a different kind of demon that had not been mentioned in the trilogy (at least the first two books). ( )

This one fills in a big portion of the pre-warding Arlen right before he goes in search of the first Deliverer.

Pretty perfect for those of us who wish we had all that early-days Arlen after his filled-out childhood after he goes off on his own but before he gets screwed. Honestly, we get all the same information in the Warded Man, but this is quite a bit more fleshed out, almost as if it was cut for pacing issues from the original.

Which I understand, of course, but like the other novella, I kinda wish I could have the Warded Man (Director's Cut). :)

Great addition. Better than Brayan's Gold. ( )

Die beiden längeren Geschichten sind gute und spannende Ergänzung zum Erzählbogen um Arlen, treiben die Saga aber kein Stück voran. Der Rest des Buches hat Lückenfüllerqualität. Auch wenn ich grundsätzlich die Sinnhaftigkeit solcher Häppchen-Veröffentlichungen anzweifle, habe ich mich gut unterhalten gefühlt. ( )

Any story about Arlen is great! I also enjoyed the author's notes at the end, about how he came up with the idea, and the short story that started it all! ( )
