Demons are the terror of the night. Yet there are always those who dare to confront these creatures. One of them is the young courier Arlen, who learns on his missions that besides courage, new ideas are also needed to survive in this dangerous world – and who soon gives people new hope in the fight against demons as the "Tattooed Man." For Arlen is not alone. Sometimes by his side, sometimes in remote places, people rise up and begin to resist the beasts of the night. People who stand up for each other and for greater justice, like the young Brianne, the orphan boy Dorn, or Selia, the village spokesperson. People with unique destinies. In "The Fire of the Demons," all four stories by bestselling author Peter V. Brett from the world of "The Warded Man" are gathered for the first time, along with three previously unpublished bonus stories and a detailed appendix.
