Peter V. Brett

As darkness falls after sunset, the corelings rise—demons who possess supernatural powers and burn with a consuming hatred of humanity. For hundreds of years the demons have terrorized the night, slowly culling the human herd that shelters behind magical wards—symbols of power whose origins are lost in myth and whose protection is terrifyingly fragile. It was not always this way. Once, men and women battled the corelings on equal terms, but those days are gone. Night by night the demons grow stronger, while human numbers dwindle under their relentless assault. Now, with hope for the future fading, three young survivors of vicious demon attacks will dare the impossible, stepping beyond the crumbling safety of the wards to risk everything in a desperate quest to regain the secrets of the past. Together, they will stand against the night.

Ha llegado el momento de hacer frente a la noche. Cada noche, cuando la oscuridad se cierne sobre el mundo, una extraña niebla emerge de la tierra. Los hambrientos abismales, demonios a los que no se puede herir con armas corrientes, toman horribles formas para alimentarse de los vivos. Cuando el sol se pone, los pocos humanos supervivientes no pueden hacer otra cosa que refugiarse tras simbolos magicos cuyo origen se ha perdido y rezar por que su proteccion dure una noche mas. Aunque no siempre fue asi. Hubo un tiempo en que hombres y mujeres combatieron a los abismales en igualdad de condiciones. Hubo un tiempo en que, bajo el mando del legendario Liberador y armados con poderosos simbolos, los hombres presentaron batalla a los demonios... y acabaron con su avance. Ahora, tres jovenes supervivientes de los feroces ataques de los demonios se enfrentaran a lo imposible: ir mas alla de las debiles defensas que ofrecen los simbolos para cuestionar todo lo que conocen en una desesperada busqueda por recuperar los secretos del pasado. Juntos, se enfrentaran a la noche. He disfrutado muchisimo con El hombre marcado. El estilo de Peter Brett es admirable y su argumento brillante. Su obra esta repleta de accion y suspense, y consigue que te preocupes por los personajes y quieras saber que les va a ocurrir a continuacion. TERRY BROOKS El hombre marcado es una novela de fantasia epica tradicional, con unos personajes que llevan a cabo un viaje fisico y espiritual. Pero tambien es un cuento de terror y, lo mas importante, una historia muy bien contada que arrastra al lector desde la primera hasta la ultima pagina.
