Publisher Description

A man caught between light and dark. As monsters and mayhem run rampant, can an outlaw knight keep evil from consuming the land?

Adrian Navarro won't rest until the realm is safe. Outcast despite his fealty to the kingdom, the determined warrior struggles to hunt down and close magical portals before they can spew out nightmarish creatures. After confronting a fanatic attempting to open a demonic gateway, he's horrified to realize that a mythical city ruled by the souls of the damned may be brought into reality.

Investigating the sinister guild of mages, he scours for any clues to the mystical key needed to slip past the stronghold's wards. But he's left reeling when others beat him to the prize, and in desperation negotiates an alliance among pirates and thieves—even as a hellish armada strikes.

With malignant entities closing in from all sides, will Adrian's quest end in failure and death?

In the Shadow of the Black Flag is the sweeping second book in the Legacy of Light & Shadow epic fantasy series. If you like tenacious protagonists, classic adventures bursting with action, and blood-chilling stakes, you'll love Steven McKinnon's sword and sorcery tale.
