One man is driven by his tragic past to uncover the forgotten battle wards, which he tattoos onto his body in order to become a living weapon in the fight against the demons. Once, humans had ways to fight back against the corelings, but they were lost centuries ago and now civilization teeters on the brink.

The only way humanity has managed to stay alive is by painting magical wards around homes, cities, campsites, wherever they can manage. It’s set in a world where demons called corelings come out of the ground at night, eviscerating any humans caught without protection. The Warded Man (published as The Painted Man in Europe) is the first novel in Brett’s five-book fantasy horror series The Demon Cycle.
