The Final Name

by Jacob Emrey

It was technology not magic or brute strength that won
the Great War. Humanity prevailed and sequestered
the orcs into a single city while the elves were scattered
and forced into squalor. However, for a new generation
of nobles this is not enough. The very fact that orcs exist
is a threat and thus must be extinguished. Old hatreds
bubble to the surface and a kingdom once at peace
finds itself on the precipice of a new war. Unfortunately,
the balance is in the hands of a spoiled price, an old
warrior orc, and an orphaned elf—none of which seem
to keen on the prospect of peace.

About the author

Jacob Emrey was born and grew up in Northern California. After high school he joined the Marines and served four years as part of the security battalion for Marine One. After his service ended, he went off to college to get his degree in History and a high school teaching credential. However, he was unlucky enough to graduate college and enter the workforce just as the real estate crisis exploded all over the world economy. With no teaching jobs in the U.S., Jacob looked overseas. Since then he has worked in Ukraine, Kuwait, China and Thailand as well as the United States. However, through it all, writing has always been his passion, so no matter where he lived, he was working on something whether it was a novella, short story, or novel.
