Humanity has been brought to the brink of extinction. Each night, the world is overrun by demons - bloodthirsty creatures of nightmare that have been hunting the surface for over 300 years. A scant few hamlets and half-starved city-states are all that remain of a once proud civilization, and it is only by hiding behind wards, ancient symbols with the power to repel the demons, that they survive. A handful of Messengers brave the night to keep the lines of communication open between the increasingly isolated populace. Arlen Bales is seventeen, an apprentice Messenger in brand new armor, about to go out for the first time alongside a trained Messenger on a simple overnight trip. Instead Arlen finds himself alone on a frozen mountainside, carrying a dangerous cargo to Count Brayan's gold mine, one of the furthest points in the duchy. And One Arm, the giant rock demon, hunts him still.… (mere)

This was actually a very satisfying excursion set right dab in the middle of the first book of the Warded Man. Right when Arlen is becoming a messenger, out on the field, he gets into some serious demon trouble with none other than the One-Armed Demon, his old nemesis from when he was just a lad. (And the demon remembered his little gift, of course.)

Seriously, I keep going back and forth whether I would have loved to see this put BACK into the original novel, despite the length. Kinda like the director's cut. It's perfect there.

Sure, it might disrupt the pacing but it sure as hell improves the One-Armed Demon story. And I loved that part of the novel, including the resolution. It's pretty damn heroic.

Either way, however, this little novella has plenty else going on and it only improves the general world-building. Nobels, marriage issues, the Messengers, everything. What can I say? I love everything Arlen. Including his youth. :)

Also a must-read, to get to know some of the peripheral characters and their relationship to the main guys. (

Dang. Now I am out of new Peter Brett material to read. I will just have to wait for book three of the Demon Cycle to come out. Brayan's Gold was a fun, short glimpse of Arlen working as a messenger's apprentice. A must read for anyone that liked The Warded/Painted Man and The Desert Spear. (

Loved it! It makes waiting for the next installment somewhat quasi bearable! (

Some editions of The Great Bazaar and Other Stories by Peter V. Brett contain Brayan's Gold, others do not contain this novella. I wonder if this is grounds for separation of the editions? - 1Dragones.
