- Were you looking for the simple desciription of the Great Bazaar of Krasia?
The Great Bazaar and Other Stories, later shortened to just The Great Bazaar, contains two tales, two deleted chapters, and an introductory chapter to a new character. It also contains a glossary and a grimoire.
- Arlen works as a Messenger, traveling the demon-infested nights to deliver news, letters and packages to isolated villages and towns. But he is hunted.
- A one-armed rock demon, fifteen feet tall and nearly indestructible, pursues Arlen each night, seeking vengeance for its lost arm.
- Somewhere out there, in the ruins of the old world, was a way to kill the demon. The histories spoke of warded weapons that could shatter demon armor like glass and leave wounds even a demon could not heal.
- Arlen uses his Messenger work to finance his true passion, a dangerous hunt for forgotten ruins and lost cities. In the Great Bazaar of Krasia he hears of a map that may be the answer to his dreams, but only if he is prepared to risk everything to obtain it.

Details[]
The first two tales talk about the time when Arlen was still a messenger. One, Brayan's Gold, is about Arlen first run as a messenger, where he encountered a Snow Demon for the first time. The other, The Great Bazaar, tells the story of how Arlen and Abban were able to obtain the map to the lost city of Anoch Sun.
The deleted chapters were chosen by the author to not be included in the first book, The Warded Man. The first chapter seems like a prologue, and is a glimpse into Arlen's childhood days of exploration. The second chapter, "Brianne Beaten", is a little more character development for Leesha.
The last chapter introduces Briar Damaj, a new character that will appear in the fourth book, The Skull Throne.
