This is a Sevenfold Sword (and Shield Knight) prequel novella. It is also another Podium Audio that is currently included on Audible...are you seeing the trend here?
This one kind of broke the mold, I feel. It used a novella to do its world building and lore. Every bit of information you receive is interesting and makes you think, “wait, what is that?!“ I actually rewinded the audio multiple times to make sure I was hearing it correctly because it was a creature, or place, or person with an uncommon name. I feel like this is short fiction done right.
Necromancy? UNDEAD skeletal orcs? Ghost orcs that are pale and can turn invisible? Dark, evil elven magic? A sword with the power to burn out the darkness? Need I say more????
So, this is a series of 12, with just about as many accompanying novellas. Not sure when I'll continue, but I'm really really intrigued.
