The Black Crown (Age of Adventures Book 1)

The Orc Wars have just ended… The Crown Pantheon have murdered all the marauding Orcs to return the peace to Evergrad. However, many half-orcs were left behind, like Prince Ragoth Brightsorn, who has spent seventeen years in isolation. Suddenly, Ragoth is forced out of his luxurious life and into exile on the eve of his royal Crowning. He can’t prove who he is or return home, so he embarks on a journey to reach his father’s tribe in the lawless wilds. He finds company in Cortland Lowhelm, a human farmboy who needs a legend to fill, and Denith, a compassionate but helpless elvish goodwill worker. To ensure safe passage, they hire Val’Mora, a veteran adventurer down on her luck. Together, they cross kingdoms, as they are chased by nefarious forces at every step.A coming-of-age story with orcs, dragons, adventure, political drama, and found family.
