Books like The desert spear by Peter V. Brett
The Desert Spear continues the story of a world where demons rise as the sun sets and human survival depends on ancient wards. Ahmann Jardir, self‑proclaimed Shar'Dama Ka, leads the desert tribes of Krasia in a campaign to rally the green lands against the demonic threat. His claim is contested by the Warded Man, Arlen, whose skin is tattooed with powerful wards and whose deeds suggest he may be the true Deliverer. As Shar'Dama Ka and the Warded Man fall into conflict, characters such as Renna, Leesha, and Rojer are drawn into the struggle, while a new, more intelligent breed of demon appears, raising the stakes for all.
