Bloodstorm: Zolgstrom (The Traitor's War)

For half a century, Xejion the dark elf has been unable to safely access her considerable magical powers, even when her life, her freedom, or her bodily autonomy was on the line. Now, she has snapped, and so has the orc who ignored her pleas for mercy. The old power stirs within her, and the old world will not be coming back.Azdush, the orcish warrior, loves Maeva the human hermitess, but his clan would not look favorably on their equal union, and he will never see her as property. Instead, every solstice, he sneaks away from camp to meet her in the desert and they make do with what fate allows them.Morzag, the ancient orcish wizard who suffers few fools and fewer apprentices, insists that there is no longer any affiliation between himself and his old clan, but is quickly caught up in their politics anyway.At the biannual solstice celebration, Ashyra the grim half-orc assassin who takes no prisoners is called upon to exercise a skillset she has not used publicly in a long time. The stakes that have put her on her knees at the feet of the visiting orc lord? Only the fates of the country where her human mother was born and the goblin city they both called home.Murder, mayhem, auction, escape, battle, and shenanigans abound as fate draws the characters into a tight web of blood and other fluids, testing time and time again their will to survive the first month of The Traitor's War.
