Legend of the Half Blood Guardian: A dark fantasy of orc war, flux magic and a doomed hero (Shadowwood Chronicles)

Product Description

Draegon Norvash has lived his life between two worlds - human discipline and orcish fury - while hiding the truth of what he is from the very people he protects. To the locals of Riveredge, he is only a rumor, a warning, a shadow: the Ghost of Shadowwood. But when three scouts cross the border and Draegon is forced to silence them, the lie of his quiet exile begins to unravel.Through a ruined watchtower's spyglass, he sees the nightmare he's spent a lifetime dreading: Gorash the Conqueror marches at the head of an army built to crush the last bastions of humanity. The crowned butcher who slew Draegon's mother in infancy, who murdered the foster father who raised him, who vanished before vengeance could ever be claimed - now returns wearing a life‑drinking crown and a destiny soaked in ruin.To stop a dawn ritual that will tear open the Flux and unmake the world, Draegon must go where soldiers cannot. Masked, half‑blooded, and carrying a lifetime of unspoken grief, he races north toward a frost‑locked shrine to claim the star‑forged Black Sword - a blade that devours the years of the one who wields it. Joined by a disgraced mage, a thief with a conscience, an elven sentinel, and a healer held together by stubbornness alone, Draegon crosses blighted passes and broken cities as the crown's corruption spreads like rot. Every step forces him closer to the truth he has spent decades avoiding: he cannot defeat Gorash without confronting the orc he carries in his own blood.This is the Ghost's most storied deed, the one bards refuse to sing in full, and the final path he ever walked.When the sun rises, either a half‑orc guardian will stand against the crowned destroyer who shaped his life in blood… or the Void will swallow everything he ever tried to protect.If you're ready for a brutal, heart‑driven fantasy where sacrifice has teeth and courage has a cost, click BUY NOW and follow the Ghost of Shadowwood into the dark. Some worlds are only saved by those who never believed they deserved to try. Read more
