About Son of the Black Sword: This book has everything I like in fantasy: intense action scenes, evil in horrifying array, good struggling against the darkness, and most of all people--gorgeously flawed human beings faced with horrible moral choices that force them to question and change and grow.--Jim Butcher, creator of the New York Times best-selling Dresden Files Best-selling fantasy author Correia casts a compelling spell with this India-influenced series opener.

Gods and demons became myth and legend, and the people no longer believed.
They became tyrannical and cruel, and their religion nothing but an excuse for greed.
As centuries passed, the descendants of the great hero grew in number and power.
They became the first kings, and all men served those who were their only hope for survival.
It was prophesized that someday the demons would return, and only the descendants of Ramrowan would be able to defeat them.
Ever since the land has belonged to man and the oceans have remained an uncrossable hell, leaving the continent of Lok isolated.
He united the tribes, gave them magic, and drove the demons into the sea.
