The Desert Spear continues the post-apocalyptic trilogy Peter Brett began in his highly acclaimed debut, The Warded Man. Picking up during the apex of a pivotal battle, this
second installment puts listeners in the saddle with Ahmann Jardir.
The world remains under siege by demonkind stalking the land when the sun goes down. But a new hero has risen from the desert. Claiming to be the mythical Deliverer—while bearing the spear and
crown of legend—Jardir now rides alongside the allied desert tribes of Krasia. He and his fellows are on an epic quest to vanquish the demons plaguing the world and bring humanity back from the
brink of extinction.
