Ashok Vidal war einst Mitglied der höchsten Kaste in ganz Lok. Als Beschützer widmete er sein Leben der Aufrechterhaltung des Gesetzes, der Ausrottung derjenigen, die noch die alten Rituale praktizierten und der schnellen Gerechtigkeit mit Angruvadal, der Klinge seiner Ahnen. Keiner war gnadenloser als er, um den anhaltenden Glauben an Götter und Dämonen unter den Kastenlosen auszumerzen. Seine Brutalität war legendär und wurde gefeiert. Aber Ashok erfährt, dass sein Leben bis zu diesem Punkt eine Lüge war. Er selbst, das Oberhaupt des Beschützerordens, ist ein Kastenloser.

Nach dem Krieg der Götter wurden die Dämonen ausgeschlossen und auf die Erde verbannt. Dort rotteten sie fast die gesamte Menschheit aus, bis die Götter den großen Helden Ramrowan schickten.

Seitdem gehörte das Land den Menschen, und nur die Ozeane blieben eine unüberwindbare Hölle, die den Kontinent Lok isolierte. Eine Prophezeiung sah jedoch die Rückkehr der Dämonen voraus, die nur von den Nachkommen Ramrowans zu besiegen seien. So wurden sie die ersten Könige, und alle Menschen dienten ihnen, da sie ihre einzige Hoffnung aufs Überleben waren.

Ashok Vadal was chosen by a powerful weapon to be its bearer. As a Protector, an elite roving law-enforcer, his path to leader of the Sons of the Black Sword has been anything but straight. Thera Vane, a child of privilege, has become the reluctant prophet of an illegal and forgotten god—whose prophecies are proving all too correct, if frustratingly unclear about the war between demon and man.

Once a Protector enforcing the Capitol’s strict laws with an iron fist, Ashok Vadal discovers his entire life is built on lies. The ancient black steel sword chose him not for his bloodline but for his spirit, thrusting him into a destiny fraught with peril and glory. The Capitol is in chaos, teetering on the brink of collapse as the Great Extermination spreads its dark shadow across the land. The casteless, descendants of the once-great kings, are hunted to extinction. Their only hope lies in Ashok Vadal, now a fugitive, and Thera, the prophet of the forgotten gods.

Monster Hunter International may have had its roots in the United States of America, but there are plenty of monsters in the big old world. And wherever there are monsters, humans will need monster hunters. Here then, stories of the things that go bump in the night and the men and women who bump back—focusing on the myths, legends, and folklore of Czechia, by Czech authors. Includes a new short story by Larry Correia.

The assassination of the chief judge has pushed the Capitol to the edge. The Great Extermination has spread to all the land. The casteless must be annihilated. Their only hope is the fallen Protector Ashok Vadal. But Vadal is being held prisoner on the island of Fortress. In order to save those who need him most, he must escape and find his way across the demon-infested sea and return to Thera, the prophet of an illegal and forgotten god. It is she who has sent the Sons of the Black Sword to war against the warrior caste, hoping to buy time until Vadal’s return.

Humans have always been fascinated by darkness. Especially the darkness of a city at night, when the black sky is made ever more inky by the pools of illumination dropped under streetlights. Whether the mean streets be in an alternate past charmed with dark magic or the dirty alleyways of futuristic crowded space stations, the city—and its darkened streets—will always fascinate us. Here then, an anthology of all new stories of science fiction and fantasy with a hardboiled noir twist that acknowledge that the city is a living, breathing entity...and it isn’t always on our side.

In a world of criminals, thugs, con artists, cheats, and swindlers, there must be a man to stand against the powers of darkness and corruption. A man not afraid to walk the mean streets—whether they be those of 1930s Los Angeles, an ancient fantasy realm, or some far-flung planet of a future star empire. He is a man who knows that a “good man” is not always a “nice guy”. But when the chips are down, he understands that a hero does the right thing, even if it means losing everything.

Chloe Mendoza and her team from Monster Hunter International must seek out and destroy an ancient evil threatening Los Angeles at the height of Disco Fever.
