Synopsis

Mankind has ceded the night to the corelings, demons that rise up out of the ground each day at dusk, killing and destroying at will until dawn, when the sun banishes them back to the Core. As darkness falls, the world's few surviving humans hide behind magical wards, praying the magic can see them through another night. As years pass, the distances between each tiny village seem longer and longer. It seems nothing can harm the corelings, or bring humanity back together.

Born into these isolated hamlets are three children. A Messenger teaches young Arlen that fear, more than the demons, has crippled humanity. Leesha finds her perfect life destroyed by a simple lie and is reduced to gathering herbs for an old woman more fearsome than the demons at night. And Rojer's life is changed forever when a traveling minstrel comes to his town and plays his fiddle.

But these three children all have something in common. They are all stubborn and know that there is more to the world than what they've been told, if only they can risk leaving their safe wards to find it.

The Warded Man creates a cohesive and consistent fantasy world full of demons of the Core which prey upon the scattered remnants of humanity when their scraps of magic fail while they wait for the inevitable end. We are introduced to three unrelated protagonists, Arlen the boy who despises being cag......more

Goodreads review by John on May 29, 2022

This is my first graphic audiobook or whatever its called having originally read the Warded Man and loved it I thought I'd try it this way. To be honest it really didnt do it for me, I much prefer just one narrator and didnt particularly like all the sound effects and acting so will go back to norma......more

Goodreads review by Connor on March 01, 2016

A serviceable, if not entirely unique, act one of a larger series. I would've liked more of a feeling of completeness as far as this opening book is concerned. LOTS of exposition even in the Graphic Audio version. If not for the fact that this was Graphic Audio's performance, it would be 4 stars for......more
