Hey everyone! Conspiracy theory time.

A few weeks ago, Mia sent in this scrumptious-looking cake pop complete with a frosting snow ward. In addition to it being just about the coolest thing ever (no pun intended), it also got me thinking.

There’s been a lot of talk about baked goods recently, hasn’t there…

There were those delicious warded cupcakes by by Crèmè De La Crèmè Cupcakes (creme_de_la_creme cupcakes on Instagram). They look delicious… could they also be deadly?

And we can’t forget Mari’s cookies, so sweet and dangerous.

Not to mention what Peat said on Twitter. He put up a particularly insightful tweet along with some other Core spoilers. You might remember it went something like this:

“Arlen and Renna open a warded bakery. Give all the demons tummy aches. #corespoilers” – Peter V. Brett

Look, I’m not saying that the corelings are going to be defeated with baked goods, but the corelings are DEFINITELY going to be defeated with baked goods.

Wake up Thesa!

Hey everyone! Doug from The Fumious Consortium recently did a banging review of Brayan’s Gold.

I want to give this review special attention for two reasons. Firstly because we just don’t have that many reviews of Peat’s novellas. With the saga’s core books (pun intended) taking center stage, Messenger’s Legacy and Brayan’s Gold are sometimes overlooked.

The second reason for bringing attention to Doug’s review is because he admits to this being his very first taste of The Demon Cycle.

For the Demon Cycle fans out there, myself included, I feel that Brayan’s Gold expands the universe and gives context to Arlen as a character.

That’s awesome enough, but Peat has always said that his novellas should be able to work as independent stories as well. Doug seems to think that they stand on their own. Feel free to let us know what you think in the comments.

Hey everyone! Today we have news for all Peat’s Turkish fans. Epsilon books has been working with The Demon Cycle since 2011 when they put out the Turkish translation of The Warded man.

Recently they released the long-awaited Turkish version of The Daylight War and it looks awesome!

Hey everyone! This year marked our very first Demon Cycle Day. Putting together these kinds of events takes a lot of effort and we couldn’t be more grateful to Peat’s publishers, Del Rey and Harper Voyager, for putting it all together.

Seriously. Demon Cycle Publishers are the best Publishers.

The event was incredible, so I wanted to take today’s post to look back on all the awesomeness that went down.

First of all was the prep work. This included announcements on social media (and some blog posts by yours truly). Del Rey also sent out a bunch of books, two at a time, to be given to friends/siblings/complete strangers/etc. on Demon Cycle Day.

After that, the party really got started. People chatted and hashtagged and genuinely seemed to be excited for it! We got lots of pictures from fans of their Demon Cycle swag. Here are some of the lucky winners of Del Rey’s Warded Man special mailing:

We also got to see a few winners of our Selfie Contest getting their prizes. It must have been Inevera that they would come in on Demon Cycle Day:

 Del Rey then decided to extend Demon Cycle Day with ANOTHER giveaway, this time for hardcover editions of The Warded Man. Ten winners were chosen and Peat went in to sign every single one. He brought along his other assistant to help out.

All in all, I’d say Demon Cycle Day was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who participated. Del Rey and Harper Voyager have put so much time and effort into making this day a success and it definitely paid off! Special shoutout Ann and Katie at Harper Voyager for helping to make the magic happen.

Hey everyone! Happy day-after-Valentine’s-Day. Or as I like to call it, cheap candy day. Hope you all are having a good one and not nursing too much of a chocolate hangover!

Yesterday Peat’s long-time fan Mia put up a series of Literary Valentines, one of which featured The Demon Cycle:

#LiteraryValentine The strong, silent type: Arlen from PVBrett‘s DEMON CYCLE books. Definitely not a vegetarian!

Literary Valentines are a fantastic idea! Definitely something I’ll have to keep in mind for a contest next year. In the meantime, let’s have some fun with it. I know Valentine’s Day is technically over, but stores are still bursting with heart-shaped everything, so let’s go ahead and do this thing!

I’ll start by saying I’d ask Kendall to be my Literary Valentine because she seems like someone I could have fun with.

This isn’t an official contest or anything, but I’m genuinely curious. Who would your Demon Cycle Literary Valentine be? Feel free to answer in the comments.
