Son of the Black Sword

Ashoka Vadal has chosen a powerful ancient weapon as its wielder. He became a protector, a member of an elite military order of roving enforcers of the Law. No one is more ruthless in persecuting those who secretly practice the old customs. Everything is black to him, or white, Good, or bad, until he finds out that his whole life is a lie. Ashok is not who he thinks he is, and when he finds himself on the wrong side of the Law, the result is rebellion, war - and destruction.
