How do you get forty fantasy authors to contribute short stories for a war-themed anthology without paying them? It sounds as if there should be a good punchline to that, but all Petros Triantafyllou did was twist the moral thumbscrews and tell them all the profits would go to Doctors Without Borders, a charity that works tirelessly across the world to alleviate the effects of conflict, sickness and poverty. So, with clear consciences, several busloads of excellent and acclaimed fantasy authors have applied themselves to the task of penning a veritable mountain of words on the subject of The Art of War, expect bloodshed, gore, pathos, insight, passion, and laughs. Maybe even a wombat. Who knows. Anyway, as the original blurb said: "It's good. Buy it." -Mark Lawrence Featuring: Mark Lawrence, Ed Greenwood, Brian Staveley, Miles Cameron, John Gwynne, Sebastien De Castell, Mitchell Hogan, Stan Nicholls, Andrew Rowe, C.T. Phipps, Rob J.

In the land of Bhealfa magic underpins the social order. Different classes enjoy different qualities of magic; from meagre charms for the destitute, to grand conjurations for the rich. But the most skilful and expensive spells of all are those used by the authorities to control the entire population. Reeth Caldason is the last remaining member of a tribe of warriors who were brutally massacred decades ago. Cursed with episodes of blind rage that endanger anyone near him, he is forced to wander the world seeking revenge for his people and a cure for his magical affliction. But the spell that binds Reeth is an esoteric one, and his search has so far been fruitless. Only when a young sorcerer's apprentice named Kutch tells him of the mysterious Covenant does he regain a glimmer of hope. Forming an uneasy alliance the two head for Bhealfa's capital city in search of this secretive magical society, unaware that they are about to be drawn into a dangerous world of conspiracy and sedition.

Bodyguard of Lightning

Regardez-moi ! Regardez l'orc ! Je lis dans vos yeux de la peur et de la haine. Vous me considérez comme un monstre, un prédateur des ténèbres, un démon dont vous parlez pour effrayer vos enfants. Une créature à traquer et à abattre comme une bête. Mais le moment est venu de prêter l'oreille à la bête, et de savoir qu'elle vit aussi en vous. Vous me craignez, mais je mérite votre respect. Ecoutez mon histoire. Regardez couler mon sang et remerciez les dieux. Remerciez les orcs nés pour se battre et destinés à ramener la paix !

La Compagnie de la foudre

Mon nom est Stryke. Longtemps, il fut synonyme de mort et de désolation. Fier d'être né orc, insensible à ceux qui me traitaient de boucher, j'ai mené mes guerriers à la victoire, portant haut la bannière de Jennesta lors des guerres qui déchirèrent Maras-Dentia. Et j'ai tué trop d'humains pour me souvenir de tous ! Aujourd'hui, je sais qu'il y a une autre voie. Un lieu où les orcs, les elfes, les nains et même les humains peuvent vivre en paix. En rêve, j'ai vu un monde harmonieux où tous nos enfants grandiront en sécurité. Ce songe doit devenir réalité ! Poursuivi par les sbires de Jennesta, traqué par des chasseurs de primes, maudit par toutes les races, je vaincrai quand même. Sinon, la guerre qui éclatera nous balayera tous ! Écoutez-moi ! Dans la tourmente à venir, il faudra être avec moi ou contre moi. Et que mes adversaires tremblent, car la pitié est un luxe que je ne pourrai plus me permettre !

La légion du tonnerre

Troin

Les races anciennes et vous, les envahisseurs, se livrent une guerre sans merci. La Mort rôde sur tout le pays et il ne reste plus que nous, les ores, pour décider du futur du monde. Que Jennesta essaie de se débarrasser de nous, pour voir. Que chacun de nos ennemis tente de nous attraper. Moi, Strylce, je suis fatigué de courir. Les cinq étoiles portent la réponse que je trouverai dans mes rêves. Le temps de la révélation est proche et bientôt nous pourrons déchirer le voile du mystère. Nous devons vaincre et en finir avec tout ceci. Ou du moins essayer, quitte à en mourir. J'ai vu notre destin. Alors ne vous mettez en travers de notre chemin !

Les guerriers de la tempête

Reeth Caldason est un berserker, et le dernier survivant d'une tribu de guerriers massacrée. Sujet à des crises de rage aveugle, il est forcé d'errer à travers le monde, avide de vengeance pour son peuple et d'un remède pour la malédiction magique qui l'afflige. Or, au pays de Bhealfa, la magie détermine l'ordre social. Chaque classe bénéficie de magies de différentes qualités : de maigres charmes pour les indigents et d'exorbitants sortilèges pour les riches ; le pouvoir despotique se réservant les plus puissants pour contrôler la population. Alors que la quête du remède au mal qui le frappe est jusqu'ici restée vaine, Reeth fait la rencontre de Kutch, un jeune apprenti sorcier, qui lui rend une lueur d'espoir.

The Book of Shadows

The Shadow of the Sorcerer

Stryke and his band of warriors return in the first part of a brand-new Orcs adventure! When the orcs discovered a world filled with their own kind, they thought they would live there till the end of their days. But the appearance of an unlikely ally will change everything. This ally - a human - tells of the atrocities being visited upon orcs back in the other world. He implores Stryke and his companions to come back so that they may save their kind from extinction and wreak vengeance upon the humans who've wronged them. But can this human be trusted? Is he a rare friend to the orc -- or is he there to lure them back for their own personal annihilation?

Orcs: Bad Blood

War is throwing the land of Maras Dantia into chaos: war between the elder races and the invading humans; war between the two sects of humans themselves. As the armies gather and the magic leaks away from the land Stryke and his warband of orcs are on the run from everyone; from the orcs that Jennasta has sent after them and from the humans who will kill any orc on sight. Stryke¿s quest for the artifacts that will secure the destiny of the orcs and, if they but knew it, all the races old and new in Maras Dantia, has never been more urgent and more difficult. As the net closes in and his troopers fall one by one to foes that even they never imagined in their worst dreams, time is running out for Stryke, for all orcs and for Maras Dantia.
