In the world of Lok, the oceans are filled with demons. There is no religion, there is no tradition, and there is no magic. There is just the capital-L Law, and those sworn to enforce it, known as the Protectors, with their mythical Ancestor Blades. The people live in fear of the authority of the Protectors, and there is nobody more ruthless than Ashok Vadal. But soon Ashok becomes an enemy of the Law, and must fight against the only truth he's ever known. Larry Correia brings the high-energy, chest-beating action of his Monster Hunter books to a new fantasy setting in Son of the Black Sword.
