Synopsis
War is engulfing Maras-Dantia. Stryke and his warband have at last gathered all five instrumentalities, but they still have to learn how to use them before the world they are trying to save is lost. Hunted from every direction, the Wolverines must also reckon with the three sorceress sisters, who are close to forming an alliance that could overturn history. The final volume of the First Blood trilogy brings the orcs’ quest to its conclusion, mixing relentless action and dark humour with harder questions about religion, the way the natural world is treated and how people regard those who are different from them.
