The Warded Man is a fantasy adventure mystery about a hero who never wanted to be a hero and a man who has to fight both physical, literal demons as well as his own internal demons and a traumatized past.

I’m not helping with the tendency for people to get Brent Weeks and Peter V. Brett confused, am I? Oh well…
This series had a fascinating setup of a world in which demons rise in the night and humans must retreat within a warded perimeter, whether that is a home, a town, or just a space to sleep by the road with wards placed around the edges. Or, you get inventive and ward your own skin. I found myself deeply drawn in and I came to care about the characters… Sensing a theme?
