The Great Bazaar: A Demon Cycle Novella

From the pages of the internationally bestselling Demon Cycle series comes this tale of Arlen Bales, who would one day become the legendary Warded Man. Arlen works as a Messenger, traveling the demon-infested nights to deliver news, letters and packages to isolated villages and towns. But he is hunted. A one-armed rock demon, fifteen feet tall and nearly indestructible, pursues Arlen each night, seeking vengeance for its lost arm. Somewhere out there, in the ruins of the old world, was a way to kill the demon. The histories spoke of warded weapons that could shatter demon armor like glass and leave wounds even a demon could not heal. Arlen uses his Messenger work to finance his true passion, a dangerous hunt for forgotten ruins and lost cities. In the Great Bazaar of Krasia he hears of a map that may be the answer to his dreams, but only if he is prepared to risk everything to obtain it. Also included are shorts and deleted scenes from the Demon Cycle series, which has sold over 4 million copies in 27 languages worldwide! Praise for The Great Bazaar: "Should delight all fans of epic fantasy. Brett's prose is nimble and accessible and he leaves the reader wanting to know more." — Sacramento Book Reviews "Highly enjoyable […] will be enjoyed by his existing fans and could serve to draw in new readers." — San Francisco Review of Books "Technically a short story collection, this slender volume is better understood as the DVD extras to Brett's 2009 debut novel, The Warded Man. The universe's conceit—demon corelings rise from the land each night, keeping the populace trapped indoors—is explained in the title story, a fully realized tale..." — Publishers Weekly
