This short Sword & Sorcery tale reads like an appetizer for a longer work. The setting and characters are fully realised, despite its short length.
I bought it from DriveThruFiction as a PDF, where it seems to be available for free, along with another great short story, this one set in ancient Sparta, titled Sanctuary. ...more

An exciting tale of Orcs and sorcery. I really enjoyed the writing in this one. It definitely helps if you know some things about the Orc background for this story as well.
A different approach than what I'm used to -- focusing the story on what would normally be considered the antagonist. Taking a look from the opposite end of the wars and the struggles gives one hope that the bad guy will come out victorious.
I loved it, and look forward to Scott continuing on with this series. ...more

I've always liked short stories, and this one is very enjoyable. I haven't read much Orc fiction (outside of Tolkien)... actually, outside of Tolkien, this is the only Orc fiction I think I've ever read. Anyway, I really liked it.
