The Demon Cycle Novellas

Brayan's Gold, Great Bazaar, and Messenger's Legacy

From the dangerous world of the Demon Cycle comes the early adventures of Arlen, Peter V. Brett's quintessential fantasy hero. These exciting origin tales follow Arlen as he learns to navigate a world where the elemental forces of evil conjure themselves from the earth each night. 

Humanity has barely survived a demonic onslaught by using magical wards that protect their cities and homes. Only a handful of mercenaries and explorers risk traveling after the sun sets. Arlen, seeking adventure and fortune, is barely protected by the warded armor upon which he has inscribed intricate defensive runes. 

From a journey ferrying a wagonload of dynamite to a mountain stronghold, to a dangerous mission to recover desert treasures, Arlen faces friends and enemies with a strong arm and a cunning wit.

These were great!

These were great! I enjoyed all three of them! It was nice to get some extra short stories for this universe!

Good afternoon read

The short stories are even better than the original novels in my opinion. They cleared up alot of confusion in the later books before I realized these existed as well.

Essential content! Don't miss.

Important stuff that should not have been left out of the books and explains a lot including introductions to key characters that seemed to come out of nowhere before.

All 3 Novellas are Excellent (but not in right order)

Book #1.5, Bryan’s Gold is Chapters 3 & 4. I recommend reading this after Chapter 13 of Book #1, The Warded Man.

Book #1.7, The Great Bazaar is Chapters 1 & 2. I recommend reading this after Chapter 16 of Book #1, The Warded Man.

Book #3.5, Messenger’s Legacy is Chapters 5 - 8

All 3 Novellas are fun & add value to the overall arc of the story!

Awesome

I’m really glad they came out with these due to the fact, they gave some filler points from the original series to help understand different characters and their background
