The Core

The Demon Cycle, Book 5

De: Peter V. Brett

Narrado por: Colin Mace

Prepare for the final descent into darkness.

Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Peter V. Brett brings one of the most imaginative fantasy sagas of the twenty-first century to an epic close.

The war has begun…

For time out of mind, bloodthirsty demons have stalked the night, culling the human race to scattered remnants dependent on half-forgotten magics to protect them.

Two heroes arose — men as close as brothers, yet divided by bitter betrayal. Arlen Bales became known as the Painted Man, tattooed head-to-toe with powerful magic symbols that enable him to fight demons in hand-to-hand combat — and emerge victorious. Ahmann Jardir, armed with magically warded weapons, called himself the Deliverer, a figure prophesied to unite humanity and lead them to triumph in Sharak Ka — the final war against demonkind.

But in their efforts to bring the war to the demons, Arlen and Jardir have set something in motion that may prove the end of everything they hold dear — a Swarm. Now the war is at hand, and humanity cannot hope to win it unless Arlen and Jardir, with the help of Arlen’s wife, Renna, can bend a captured demon prince to their will and force the devious creature to lead them to the Core, where the Mother of Demons breeds an inexhaustible army.

Trusting their closest confidantes, Leesha, Inevera, Ragen, and Elissa, to rally the fractious people of the Free Cities and lead them against the Swarm, Arlen, Renna, and Jardir set out on a desperate quest into the darkest depths of evil — from which none of them expects to return alive.

worth the wait

I thought it would disappoint but it delivered on all counts. A fantastic series that I will surely enjoy reading again and again.

This is a spectacular series, great ending

The trails this book goes through, both in the storyline, the way you grow with the book and characters, and the the way it is written, is by itself and adventure. WOW, what a ride!

Loved this series and audiobook did it immense justice

Waited years for this finale and the audiobook does what they do best, bring an unparalleled level of realism and atmospheric magic. Thank you Peter for seeing it through and I'm eagerly awaiting your next venture. Ripping Core-Spawn of a conclusion, and an ending that leaves room for more in Ala-verse!

An epic conclusion to a great series

This was amazing, the story was so well planed. I wish there was a next one.

amazing!

one of the best books in the series, really kept me in the car while listning!

True Masters finish well: no exceptions here

This author has completed a beautiful piece of art… capping off this series with such a rich and perfectly executed ending

Satysfying and entertaining.Time well spent.

Excellent addition to a verystrong cycle.Captivating storytelling from start to finish that gives the main chatacters and their interwoven fates the scale and justice they deserve.The world of Alla and its dark depths come to life trough Peter Brett's words. Offering a satysfying conclusion and teasing the prospect of more tales yet to come.

awesome book and series

Cant wait for the next series. i heard the series in a few weeks.

An excellent conclusion brilliantly read!

Given the time and place it is not surprising that there are times when this feels like one long series of fight sequences but it is a very worthy book. My biggest challenge where listening were getting enough time without interruptions to keep up with all that was going on.

I don't think you could read this book without having followed the series but if you have you are in for a treat.

Good story, bad word

The story itself is an amazing piece of art, However from the start I was not a fan of the idea that the only supernatural /fantasy creatures in the world were demons.
