After the falling out between Cal and Tara, love is lost and the fragile human-orc alliance has ripped at the seams. The Last Men Standing are sitting ducks without their healer...and their enemies have multiplied.

This novel is a celebration of narrative artistry and the elegance of its visual design. Read Full Review
