Foundations (Volume 1)

Arkhet, a common orc warrior, finds a magnificent magical sword on the vestiges of a battlefield. With the orc people on the verge of extinction, Arkhet discovers that the magic of the blade offers a way for his people to survive. But with the elven Prince Shareel Greenwood and his army relentlessly pursuing the orcs, Arkhet must find a way to save what remains of his clan, without becoming embroiled in a war that they cannot hope to win. Gathering together an unlikely group of allies, Arkhet endeavors to lead his people away from certain doom . . . and find a new place to call home. And Prince Greenwood would do anything to recover the lost sword, even if it means the total annihilation of the orc people.
