[The Last Bucelarii/Hero of Darkness 03] • Darkblade Protector · an Epic Fantasy Adventure (Hero of Darkness Book 3)

**Protect the innocent at any cost**

The Hunter, legendary assassin of Voramis, has been given a second chance.

He will safeguard Hailen, the boy he rescued from a demon, against any threat—mortal or immortal.

Though he joins a caravan in the hope of safe passage across the vast emptiness of the Advanat Desert, he cannot outrun his enemies: the Illusionist Cleric on a holy mission to capture him, the savage raiders out for blood and gold, and the Abiarazi, demons who masquerade as humans.

Every step north unlocks the truth about the woman who haunts his memories, offering new glimpses into who he is…*what *he is.

* **Fans of Joe Abercrombie, Brandon Sanderson, and Brent Weeks will love the Hunter…** *
