Synopsis
The final volume of the Bad Blood trilogy brings the Wolverines’ long war to its end. Stryke and his band have helped rouse the cowed orcs of Acurial against their oppressors, but the sorceress Jennesta, who once held the warband in bondage, is still their deadliest enemy as she fights to control the instrumentalities that let their bearers pass between worlds. With battles raging between Jennesta’s loyalists and the Gateway Corps, Stryke must find a way to finish the fight, settle his score with the sorceress and bring his band home.
