The Half-Orcs - La série

Quand les sang-mêlé Harruq et Qurrah Tun ont promis leur vie au prophète de la mort Velixar, ils ont seulement cherché à échapper à leurs débuts sordides. Au lieu de cela, ils deviennent ses plus grands disciples, chargés de diriger son armée de morts-vivants. Pendant qu'ils se préparent, Harruq s'entraîne avec une elfe nommée Aurelia, à qui il doit la vie. Elle est une fenêtre sur un monde meilleur, mais à mesure que la guerre se propage entre les races, leur amitié prend un tournant extrême. Velixar leur ordonne de se battre aux côtés des humains, transformant Aurelia d'ami en ennemi. Pour la protéger, Harruq doit se retourner contre son frère et lutter contre la nature meurtrière de son héritage orc. S'associer à l'un signifie en allumer un autre. Peu importe la décision de Harruq, quelqu'un qu’il aime mourra.

Their prophet dead and their home lost, the half-bloods Harruq and Qurrah Tun form a strained alliance with a band of mercenaries outside the city of Veldaren. As the brothers and their allies wage a private war against powerful thief guilds, divine forces threaten to tear them apart and ruin any hope for a better life. Harruq must do everything he can to defend his family, for Qurrah’s love of a girl with a shattered mind and the power of a goddess may doom them all. The death prophet returns, and the disloyal will suffer.

After a bloody conflict with his brother, Qurrah Tun flees west with his lover, the strange and powerful Tessanna. He seeks a powerful tome known as Darakken's spellbook, guarded by paladins and priests of light. Qurrah hopes to cure Tessanna’s madness, but his newly returned master, Velixar, has far greater plans for the tome. Only Harruq Tun and his friends can stand against the darkness his brother has unleashed. Velixar wants the throne and the secret that it hides, and to do so he will lay siege to the great city of Veldaren. The gods' final war has begun, and the blood is on Harruq’s hands.

The portal is open, and war demons pour into the world of Dezrel, with every intention of burning the land to ash. Harruq Tun leads the survivors of the broken kingdom of Neldar, hoping to find safety in the west. But it will take the aid of his wife and friends to hold back the army of his brother, Qurrah, that gives chase. The dark god Karak nears his total victory and release, and the fate of the world will be decided by Harruq’s strength as the vile army of demons, priests, and undead nears. The fate of the world rests on a single act of faith...

The war god Thulos marches across the world of Dezrel, recruiting soldiers into his demon army and annihilating all who stand against him. With the aid of three Kings, Harruq Tun and his friends must save the nation of Mordan, whose priest-king has sworn to the dark god, and will summon whatever nightmarish creatures necessary to maintain rule. Once freed, they can turn their attention east, to the war god’s approach. Before the walls of Mordeina, and high above in the golden city of Avlimar, the last survivors make their stand against a world of death and conquest. The final battle has come.

"This world is not safe. Your angels have done great things, but I fear their illusion of safety has been more damaging than they can possibly understand. The ancient evils may be gone, but new ones have replaced them." Five years have passed since the death of the war god, and now angels watch over the land. It should be a time of peace and prosperity. It is not. With King Antonil marching east to retake his former lands from the orcs, Harruq Tun is thrust into a position of power he is completely unprepared for, leaving many plotting to usurp the throne for their own ends. Hovering over it all are the angels, enforcers of the law and wielders of the executioner's blades. Once viewed as humanity's saviors, the angels now find themselves struggling for a proper place in the new world. Monsters in the Vile Wedge are stirring, and in the south the nation of Ker moves to protect itself from a rule from on high. War comes, and if Harruq cannot stop it, their paradise of angels may soon become a blood-stained prison. Fear the grace enforced by the sword.
