Synopsis

The final novel of the Saga of the Forgotten Warrior brings the story of Ashok Vadal to its close. Chosen as a youth by a powerful black steel sword to be its bearer, and once the most feared enforcer of the Law, Ashok has become the champion of the casteless he was raised to hunt, and the war he has fought against the Capitol and the forces behind it now reaches its end. Long-hidden truths about the War of the Gods, the demons cast down into the world and the origins of the Law come to light, and the answer to what follows that ancient war lies in the heart of the mountain.
