On the surface he could appear one-dimensional but this couldn’t be further from the truth. The massacres he has perpetrated in obedience to the Law have earned him the nickname Black Heart. Trained by an order of warrior monks and chosen by the ancestor blade Angruvadal to be its bearer, Ashok is peerless. He is the best of the Protectors, a perfect soldier that carries out orders without question.
Ashok isn’t who he thinks he is, and when he finds himself on the wrong side of the law, the consequences lead to rebellion, war-and destruction.Īshok seems like a deceptively simple character. Everything is black or white, good or evil, until he discovers his entire life is a fraud. No one is more merciless in rooting out those who secretly practice the old ways. He is a Protector, the elite militant order of roving law enforcers. The Age of Law began.Īshok Vadal has been chosen by a powerful ancient weapon to be its bearer. Yet as centuries passed, Gods and demons became myth and legend, and the people no longer believed. He united the tribes, gave them magic, and drove the demons into the sea. Mankind was nearly eradicated by the seemingly unstoppable beasts, until the gods sent the great hero, Ramrowan, to save them. Here’s the plot synopsis: After the War of the Gods, the demons were cast out and fell to the world. I can happily say that SON OF THE BLACK SWORD ( Amazon) will not disappoint the Monster Hunter Nation and it will also likely earn Larry a lot of new fans from the fantasy genre. Judging by how incredibly large scale Larry’s urban fantasy and alternate history novels have been I’ve been eager to see what he could do with straight up fantasy. If I remember properly he’s been teasing fans, talking about it on his blog for a couple years now at least.
As Larry Correia’s biggest fan I’ve been looking forward to his fantasy debut for a while now.
