The Core

Viac o knihe

Bestselling author Peter V. Brett concludes one of the most imaginative fantasy sagas of the twenty-first century. For ages, bloodthirsty demons have hunted humanity, leaving survivors reliant on fading magic for protection. Two heroes emerge—Arlen Bales, the Painted Man, covered in powerful magic tattoos that allow him to battle demons in close combat, and Jardir, the Deliverer, who wields magically warded weapons and is prophesied to unite humanity for the final war against demonkind, known as Sharak Ka. However, their efforts to confront the demons have triggered a catastrophic Swarm that threatens everything they cherish. As the war looms, humanity's survival hinges on Arlen, Jardir, and Arlen's wife, Renna, who must capture a demon prince and compel him to lead them to the Core, where the Mother of Demons creates an endless army. Relying on their trusted allies—Leesha, Inevera, Ragen, and Elissa—to unite the divided Free Cities against the Swarm, Arlen, Renna, and Jardir embark on a perilous journey into the depths of evil, fully aware that they may not return alive.
