History of the Kingdom of the Orcsen: How the Barbarian Orcish Nation Came to Burn Down the Peaceful Elfland Novel Review

“A peaceful Elven village, under attack by the Orcs.” “Orcs setting fire to a peaceful Elven forest.” Phrases like these are all too common. But why exactly are they attacking the Elven lands? How did they amass such a force to threaten entire nations? This is a tale that dares to question such mysteries in a modern fantasy setting. With the advance of science and the rise of the Industrial Revolution, the age has shifted from “swords and sorcery” to an era of “guns and magic.” The Allied Nation of Orcs, Kobolds, Dwarves, Great Eagles, and Great Wolves, known as Orcsen; and the Elven Kingdom of Elfynd, an ancient, pure land even revered by Humans, have long-standing historical animosity. At the border between these two rival nations, Orc King and the ruler of Orcsen, Gustav Falkenhayn, and Dineluth Andariel, the chieftain of the dark elves who have been exiled from their homeland by brutal ethnic cleansing, had a fateful encounter. As these two nations wage a total war for their very survival, and as fate brings these two leaders together under dire circumstances, the question remains: What will become of their destinies? Military, domestic affairs, diplomacy. Land, sea, air. An overwhelming tale of countless people, countless stories, and countless lives. Thus begins a grand modern historical fantasy epic from another world.
