The first book in Peter V. Brett's pentalogy, the Demon Cycle. The Warded Man (also known as The Painted Man in the United Kingdom) is the story of mankind's struggle to survive in a world where demons materialize out of the ground each night to attack and kill anyone not protected behind magical wards. Society has crumbled and humans survive in isolated settlements, ranging from a few remaining cities to small hamlets. Few are willing and able to brave the roads to travel between settlements. The first book uses rotating points of view to tell the tales of three children, born in different hamlets, who manage to overcome tragedies and leave the safety of their homes to find their destinies.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Later books in the series begin to follow other characters as well, providing backstories and POV chapters from characters on multiple sides of each conflict. The series as a whole is now complete and made up of 5 books: The Warded Man (published 2008 in the UK, 2009 elsewhere) The Desert Spear (April 2010) The Daylight War (February 2013) The Skull Throne (March 2015) The Core (October 2017)Brett is working on a next generation sequel series: The Desert Prince (2021)Brett has also released The Great Bazaar and Other Stories, a collection of short stories set in the same universe. Paul W.S. Anderson is currently planning to make The Film of the Book. | |

Adaptive Ability | |
| The Warded Man / int_20e7ed4f | comment |
Adaptive Ability: Using combat wards allows the humans to gain power by siphoning off the magic of the demons. This can grant strength, speed, and a Healing Factor, but excess power typically burns off in the sunlight. The titular warded man is somehow immune to this loss. He has a noticeable healing factor, is able to run on foot alongside his trotting warhorse all day without any signs of exhaustion or even breathing hard, and starts to get pulled down into the Core with a demon he's pinning. He theorizes that this is at least in part due to him occasionally eating demons. | |

Action Girl: Wonda and Renna. Also, Ashia, Shanvah and Sikvah who are arguably the most skilled non-magically-enhanced combatants in the entire series. | |
