Publisher's summary

Larry Correia's best-selling epic fantasy series, Saga of the Forgotten Warrior, continues.

Ashok Vadal was once a member of the highest caste in all of Lok. As a Protector, he devoted his life to upholding the Law, rooting out those who still practiced the old ways and delivering swift justice with his ancestor blade Angruvadal. None was more merciless than he in stamping out the lingering belief in gods and demons among the casteless. His brutality was legendary and celebrated.

But soon Ashok learned that his life to that point had been a lie. He himself, senior member of the Protector Order, was casteless. He had been nothing more than an unwitting pawn in a political game. His world turned upside down, and finding himself on the wrong side of the Law, he began a campaign of rebellion, war, and destruction unlike any Lok had ever seen.

Thera had been first daughter of Vane. A member of the Warrior Order, she had spent her life training for combat. Until a strange sight in the heavens appeared one day. Thera was struck by lighting, and from that day forward, she heard the Voice. A reluctant prophet with the power to see into the future, she fought alongside Ashok Vadal and his company of men known as the Sons of the Black Sword, until a shape-shifting wizard with designs on her powers of precognition spirited her away. He holds her prisoner in the House of Assassins.

Ashok Vadal and the Sons of the Black Sword march to rescue Thera. With his sword Angruvadal, Ashok was unstoppable. But Angruvadal is gone, shattered to pieces on the demon-possessed husk of a warrior. Now, Ashok must fight without the aid of the magic blade for the first time. Thera’s life depends on it. But there is much more at risk in the continent of Lok. Strange forces are working behind the scenes.

Ashok Vadal and the Sons of the Black Sword are caught up in a game they do not fully understand, with powerful forces allied against them. Ashok no longer knows what to believe. He is beginning to think perhaps the gods really do exist. If so, he’s warned them to stay out of his way. They would do well to listen.

About House of Assassins: “Correia piles on the intrigue, action, and cliffhangers in the invigorating second Saga of the Forgotten Warrior epic fantasy.... Correia also weaves in elements that question the value of belief and the cost of giving authority to those who find more profit in preying on the weak.... Brisk fight scenes, lively characters, and plenty of black humor continue to make this series a real pleasure.” (Publishers Weekly)

Larry Correia is the creator of The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times best-selling Monster Hunter series, as well as urban fantasy hard-boiled adventure saga the Grimnoir Chronicles and epic fantasy series The Saga of the Forgotten Warrior.

Great story, great reader

The greatest Protector must protect the lawless to honor his vow to obey. His shame can only come to an end by dieing while doing his duty. With demons and armys against him, his shame may not last long.

Aaaaaargh! Book 3 NOW!!!

So good. I listened to book 1 when it was brand new and didn't know it was the only one. The wait was so long for this one and I kept checking and checking to see when it would be available.

This follow up has been excellent and now I know the wait for book 3 is going to be agonizing.

The only negative I can cite is that Ashok's constant sniveling about how he isn't a 'whole man' is really irritating. The whole concept of the castless grates (I know it's supposed to) and I'd hoped he'd have had more growth in that matter by the end of this book.

I want to know so much about this world that is still unanswered!!! Excellent job Mr. Correia. Tim G reynolds' narration is compelling, as always.

Wow

Truly impressed. I struggled with Ashoks constant obedience to the law.. but it picks up. Too many of the same works but overall, especially towards the end of the book it truly is great.

Keeps getting better

Extremely enjoyable listen, with an outstanding performance by Tim Gerard Reynolds. The magic system and ever building history is very compelling and has me wanting a new installment right away.

Now for something completely different

Larry Correia best known for his Monster Hunter series has created a whole different world.
A world of magic, castes, intrigue and demons.
This story is totally different from what he has written before, but just as captivating.
I was hooked and couldn’t wait to find out what happened next.
I recommend it without reservation.
