Peter V Brett Books in Order

Olive Paper is expected to open the Spear of Ala and lead the fight when demons return, while Darin Bales risks everything to rescue his mother from the Demon King. Their separate quests uncover buried legacies and a terrifying new chapter in the war.

Set fifteen years after the demon war, this novel follows Olive Paper and Darin Bales, children of legendary heroes trying to escape their parents’ shadows. When hidden demons strike back, the pair are forced into a new fight that could remake their world.

In Tibbet’s Brook, elder Selia Square—nicknamed Barren—has held a fragile community together for decades. As a new demon threat and old grudges collide, she must confront buried memories of forbidden love and hard choices to give her town a future.

In the finale of the Demon Cycle, Arlen Bales, Jardir, and Renna descend toward the Core itself to confront the Mother of Demons. Above ground, their allies struggle to unite a divided world before an overwhelming demon swarm wipes humanity away.

With Arlen and Jardir vanished and the Skull Throne of Krasia standing empty, would‑be heirs and rival dukes scramble for power. As civil war looms in both desert and green lands, demons grow bolder, turning human infighting into their greatest weapon.

In a swamp village that barely survives the night, half‑Krasian boy Briar Damaj flees into demon‑ridden bogs after tragedy strikes. Years later, aging messenger Ragen straps on his armor for one last journey to find the feral child everyone else has given up on.

As demon assaults intensify, Arlen Bales and desert warlord Ahmann Jardir compete to lead humanity as the prophesied Deliverer. Their rivalry, and Inevera’s secret‑laden past, drive a sprawling conflict where politics, faith, and demon magic collide on the eve of all‑out war.

With her soul trapped in a nightmare realm while the demon Bhamothes rampages in her body, Sonja must face the boy she killed and reckon with her own guilt. The climax blends brutal swordplay with a hard‑won shot at redemption.

Hunted by a relentless bounty killer and tormented by a demon in her dreams, Sonja discovers that walking away from the past is harder than shedding her armor. Each step toward safety pulls her deeper into sorcery, possession, and old blood debts.

On the run and desperate for coin, Sonja accepts a perilous commission to locate the lost tomb of warrior queen Gheta. Deep in forgotten ruins, she discovers that the queen’s vengeful spirit may be the only foe ever to truly challenge her.

After a drunken duel ends in the death of a young admirer, Red Sonja flees the scene branded a murderer. Stripped of her famed chainmail and haunted by guilt, she wanders Hyboria as a penniless sword for hire with a demon’s pelt on her shoulders.

Young messenger Arlen Bales takes his first solo run through icy mountain passes, hauling dangerous explosives to a remote mine. Bandits, treachery, and demon‑haunted nights turn a simple job into a test of courage that foreshadows the Warded Man he’ll become.

This collection returns to the early days of Arlen Bales, filling in adventures between the events of The Warded Man. From dangerous deals in Krasia’s markets to village dilemmas and deleted scenes, it deepens the world’s lore in quick, punchy episodes.

Set against a brutal desert holy war, this sequel follows Ahmann Jardir’s rise as a rival "Deliverer" even as Arlen Bales becomes legend in the north. As demons evolve, humanity’s faith, alliances, and hatreds threaten to shatter any hope of victory.

In a world where demons rise from the ground each night, three children—Arlen, Leesha, and Rojer—grow into adults determined to fight back. Their paths converge around rediscovered ward magic and the whispered hope of a long‑lost Deliverer.
