For fans of Terry Brooks, George R.R. Martin, David Eddings, and Robert Jordan, the critically-acclaimed dark fantasy debut featuring the man brave enough to travel demon-haunted roads at night, and the fallen kingdoms he protects, is now available in mass market.
This extraordinary new fantasy is the first in a trilogy from debut author Peter Brett--and one of Del Rey's most exciting new launches. Brett breathes new life into classic epic fantasy tropes, artfully weaving an adventurous tale that will have readers turning pages late into the night, in this layered, complex tale of the demons who haunt the night, and the few souls brave enough to fight them. We supported the launch of The Warded Man with major pre-publication exposure at the New York Comic Con, as well as extensive online outreach, and the response has been terrific, both in terms of online buzz and review attention. With a new package tailored even more firmly to the market, and the new book following a month later, we shodul be able to really begin building the sales.
