Orc Hai!
by
Thomas Fulton
Freya and her sisters who dubbed themselves “sisters of misery” were breed as half-orcs: a species specifically bred by an ambitious warlord to bolster his army. But women did not fit into his plan, and so Freya, Scara, Pohla, Fina, Tauna and Uta grew up as slaves in Chimera. Subjected to cruelty, Freya needs to be strong to keep her sisters alive. But she cannot save everyone and, following the tragic death of Uta, she knows that remaining in Chimera will only bring death. Through careful planning and a bit of luck, the sisters escape under cover of darkness and begin their journey to unknown destinations. The roads may be dangerous, but Freya discovers that the world ahead is far less cruel than the one they left behind. On their travels, the sisters uncover hidden talents: Freya is a strong leader and negotiator; Scara is an excellent fighter and a fierce protector; Pohla is skilled with animals and archery; Fina has a keen eye and Tauna has a flare or food. These skills assist them in battles against merciless creatures and in relationships with the good-hearted people they meet in their adventures. Still, despite unexpected kindness from new friends and strangers, Freya and her sisters remain half-orc women raised in a sheltered world. Freya worries if they will be accepted into the world of men, and if their talents can overcome their breeding.
Thomas Fulton began as an avid gamer many years ago when Dungeons and Dragons was a simple three book set and a lot of imagination. Before the Player’s Handbook, Monster Manual and a series of Adventure modules. When he first began writing this series for fun and loosely based on his gaming adventures he stuck to what he knew and enjoyed while trying to keep it light-hearted and hopes you will enjoy his ramblings. Thomas lives in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, with his very patient wife. They travel extensively and being huge Tolkien fans have been to New Zealand multiple times.
