Publisher's Synopsis
"A remarkable fantasy series opener built on bold characters and startling real-world parallels."
-Kirkus Reviews
in dark corners, old hatreds are starting to simmer. . .
It has been nearly a hundred years since humans won the Great War, defeating the orcs by industry and innovation--not magic, as everyone had expected. Orcs and elves have been pushed into the corners of society. But in those dark corners, old hatreds are starting to simmer, and some humans are wondering whether it's time to snuff out magic and all that goes with it once and for all.
