Peter V Brett The Painted Man Signed 1st/1st (2008 First Edition DJ)

This is a signed first edition in very good condition. It was published by Harper Voyager in 2008. Eleven-year-old Arlen lives with his parents near the isolated hamlet of Tibbet's Brook.

As dusk falls upon Arlen's world, mist rises from the ground promising a violent death to any foolish enough to brave the coming darkness; for hungry demons materialize from the vapours impatient to feed. People have no choice but to take shelter behind magical wards and pray that their protection holds until the creatures dissolve with the first signs of dawn. When Arlen's life is shattered by the demon plague, he is forced to see that it is fear, rather than the demons, which truly cripples humanity. Believing that there is more to his world, he must risk his life to discover a different path. In the small town of Cutter's Hollow, Leesha's perfect future is destroyed by a lie and she is reduced to tending an old woman more fearsome than the corelings.

Yet in her disgrace, she becomes the guardian of dangerous ancient knowledge. This is a 1st Edition / 1st Printing (The number string is: 1).
