The orc apocalypse has arrived.
In the small village of Berring, Calder runs the Broken Mug tavern. He was a gifted swordsman, and would have been a war hero if only his side had won. His injured leg tells him his days of fighting are over.
When a Dark Portal opens in his village’s main square and orcs stream through it, slaughtering his neighbours and setting everything on fire, it brings with it a second chance.
A Soldier of Light appears and grants Calder a Weapon Stone, so he can help fight against the forces of Darkness.
His leg is healed.
His body pulses with superhuman strength.
And he’ll do anything to protect his people.
Todd Herzman writes fantasy, science fiction, and anything else that catches his fancy. He has a Bachelor of Writing degree from the University of Canberra which hangs above his desk to--in theory--give him confidence when he writes. It's yet to work because usually his writing only gets done at coffee shops on his lunch break.
