When the ex-slave named Nergal joins a party of heroes, he isn't looking for adventure, he's just looking for an easy meal! But soon enough the impressionable young half-orc begins to feel a kinship with these men and women who are on an important mission to an abandoned castle. Dark forces are marshalling against them, and Nergal is seen as an asset in the quest to stop the evil that threatens their kingdom.Unfortunately for Nergal, he's done things that wouldn't go over well with his heroic friends. As he grows into a mighty force for good himself, Nergal must hide his past. He becomes drawn into a struggle between nations and the hunt for a monk-wizard that creates deadly monsters to aid the cause of an ancient sect's draconian rule over other peoples.
The hunt will take Nergal to lands unknown and he will face challenges greater than he anticipated, but when the smoke clears there will be no doubts as to Nergal's true nature.

I read this 285 page ebook. I enjoyed it and the interactions of the charaters. I brought it because I was curious about the ork storyline and i liked the first free chapter i read. I also enjoyed the style of writing and the battle scenes.
I too hope there will be a sequal to this ebook.

I really enjoyed this book, and although it reads like someone's role playing game session at times, I found the setting and characters very intriguing and colorful - especially the chief protagonist Nergal the half-orc. The author does a great job of conveying the mind and motivations of the half-orc, and I found myself laughing out loud at times at his single minded quest for food or to satisfy his other base desires. If you're a gamer, this would be a great read to get into the mindset of a half-orc barbarian.
I hope to see further adventures featuring Nergal and his exploits.
