Monster zu jagen ist nichts für Angsthasen. Beim letzten großen Einsatz der Monster Hunter International sind zwei Agenten spurlos verschwunden. Eine Tatsache, die Owen Zastava Pitt nicht auf sich beruhen lassen will. Er beschließt eine Rettungsaktion, doch die verspricht kein Spaziergang zu werden. Denn seine Freunde sind anscheinend in einer Dimension gefangen, in der Monster und noch viel mächtigere Wesen ihr unsterbliches Dasein fristen.

Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a 14th story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer.

Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. And now Owen is their newest recruit.

In Las Vegas findet ein Symposium der besonderen Art statt: Monsterjäger aus der ganzen Welt sind eingeladen. Doch schon bald erreicht sie eine erschreckende Nachricht: An einem Truckstop in Nevada wurde ein blutrünstiges Massaker verübt von einer nicht klassifizierten Kreatur.

Owen Pitt und sein Team greifen zu den Waffen.

Doch nur unter einer Bedingung stellt er seine durchschlagenden Fähigkeiten der Organisation zur Verfügung: Sie musste ihm versprechen, keine weiteren Wesen wie ihn zu erschaffen. Franks Schöpfer ist jedoch unersättlich.

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.

The Great Extermination has begun. In the Capitol, Grand Inquisitor Omand Vokkan hatches a plot to kill every member of the untouchable caste in all of Lok, down to the last man, woman, and child. As a member of the Order of Inquisition, Vokkan has no official say in the creation of Law, but he has powerful allies willing to do his bidding. Through them, he has convinced the Judges that the genocide will be swift, complete, and without complication. Nothing is farther from the truth.

Earl Harbinger ist jahrhundertealt doch man sieht es ihm nicht an. Harbinger ist ein Werwolf und, wie die Ironie es will, Anführer und bester Jäger der Geheimorganisation Monster Hunter International. Er hat es geschafft, seinen Fluch in eine Tugend zu verwandeln, und kämpft auf der Seite der Guten. Das kann man aber leider nicht von jedem Übernatürlichen behaupten, und so steht Harbinger bald einem Werwolf gegenüber, der nur eins im Sinn hat: möglichst viele Anhänger um sich zu scharen und die Menschheit auszulöschen.

After the War of the Gods, the demons were cast out and fell to the world. Mankind was nearly eradicated by the seemingly unstoppable beasts until the gods sent the great hero, Ramrowan, to save them. He united the tribes, gave them magic, and drove the demons into the sea. Ever since, the land has belonged to man, and the oceans have remained an uncrossable hell, leaving the continent of Lok isolated.

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 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.

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.

But before the stone can be handed off, it is stolen by a mysterious thief with ties to MHI and the Vatican's Secret Guard.
