Thirty years ago, the Iron Wolves kept back mud-orc hordes at the Pass of Splintered Bones, and led a brutal charge that saw the sorcerer Morkagoth slain. This ended the War of Zakora, and made the Iron Wolves heroes. Now, a new terror stalks the world. In hushed whispers, it is declared the Horse Girl, Orlana the Changer, has actually gotten away from the Turmoil Halls and is building an army, twisting horses, lions and bears into dreadful, bloody hunters, summoning mud-orcs from then slime and heading north to Vagandrak where, it stated, the honorable King Yoon has actually gone insane … After hearing a prophecy from a blind seer, aged General Dalgoran searches to reunite the heroes of old for what he believes will be the final battle. But as mud-orcs and twisted monsters tear through the land, Dalgoran discovers the Iron Wolves are no longer heroes of legend … Narnok is a violent whoremaster, Kiki a honey-leaf drug peddler, and Prince Zastarte a drinker, a gambler, amoral and decadent: now he likes to hear people scream as they burn … United in hate, the Iron Wolves take a trip to the Pass of Splintered Bones; and as half a million mud-orcs gather, General Dalgoran understands his severe mistake. Together, the Iron Wolves hold an awful trick which has tortured them for 3 decades. Now, they only wish to be human once again … File Under: Fantasy From the Paperback edition.
