"The Desert Prince is a deeply intimate, yet epic adventure. Heart-wrenching, smart, and modern, this book kept me wide-eyed and wide awake for many a night as I struggled step by step alongside Olive and Darin, from the green lands to the desert pits to the darkest recesses of the demon minds. The Desert Prince has set a new standard for fantasy."--Wesley Chu, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The War Arts Saga

"The Desert Prince is the work of a master at the top of his game. The new cast of would- be heroes instantly draws you into a world full of old dangers as Brett cranks up the tension to unbearable levels. If you're going to read this book, cancel all your plans, because there's no way you'll be able to put it down once you start."--Mike Shackle, author of We Are the Dead

"Peter V. Brett takes the reader with him and his characters on an electric and unrelenting charge through the demon-haunted depths of the Warded universe, full of love and death."--Naomi Novik, New York Times bestselling author of A Deadly Education
