Join Fokmir, a 19 year old orc from the shattered country of Straxesma as she journeys far from home and makes a number of friends, finds love, and faces the greatest evils of this land from the slave trade of Sigalon to the great shadow that casts its darkness on every reach of this once great land. Will she succeed? And will they survive? We find out now, my adventurous friend, so let us depart. WARNING: This book is going to be covering some rather heavy stuff including the following; slavery, misogyny, racism, drug use, alcoholism, violence, adultery, rape, war, illegal immigration, assassination, and just about every other controversial topic under the sun. So, if you find yourself easily offended, this might not be the book for you, if not, this may be exactly what you're looking for with many issues of the real world looked at through the lens of high fantasy and imagination.
