Greetings travelers, and welcome to our next foray into the Otherworld.\u00a0 We’re doing a bit of a double-feature today, as our featured story comes to you in two parts, first as a book, and then again as an audiobook.\u00a0 If you’re interested in learning more about a great traditional fantasy with some interesting twists, dive into Orc: Saga of the Brightflame<\/em>.<\/p>\n

While showing shades of gray around a character who would ordinarily be painted in less abstract colors is not new to fantasy, when it’s done right, it can be quite catching.\u00a0 So it is in Chad Westbrook’s Orc: Saga of the Brightflame<\/em>.\u00a0 The book observes the treatment of one through the lens of his race and the color of his skin, though he’s found a different culture within the humans who have taken him in, even while some of them show reluctance in having done so.\u00a0 Westbrook’s focus on Abrium\u2013nee Aragrim\u2013does not deter from other strengths found in the tale either, as a good deal of characters have backstories that weave an interesting tapestry about the world.<\/p>\n

William Pyke, knight of Weithumbria, and his clan of warriors enter temple ruins to save a group of kidnapped humans from a band of orcs. What he did not expect to find were a female human slave and her half-orc child. Her dying wish was for the knight to protect her child, forcing Sir William to make the choice of taking the half-orc, half-human child back to Weithumbrian\u2019s capital of Brythelm.<\/em><\/p>\n

The orcling, now named Abrium, begins his years living in a town of people that abhor his kind. Trouble soon follows young Abrium and his father, William, is forced to send him away from the city to be fostered by the reluctant dwarves of Redbeard Bay.<\/em><\/p>\n

And through it all, a dark elf witch seeks the souls of humans to free her evil dragonlord from his immortal prison and commands a disgruntled clan of orcs to get what she wants.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As talented a talespinner as Westbrook is, he’s found a partner in John B. Jenkins, who narrates the the story with a sense of grandeur, bravado and majesty.\u00a0 He captures each character dynamically, so that the cast feels as though they’re represented by an entire ensemble.\u00a0 Indeed, Jenkins brings a certain gravitas to the voice work that elevates the events and the dialog, making it sound as though Abrium’s adventures are told through a larger, more cinematic scope.\u00a0 Together, these two storytellers have done a wonderful job of telling an orc’s very interesting story, and it’s one that you should certainly look into.\u00a0 Check out Orc: Saga of the Brightflame: The Complete Saga<\/em> on Amazon today<\/a>, and don’t forget to also pick up the incredible narrated version<\/a> as well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
