Spoiler-free synopsis
The Hidden Allies
Kurz Rir has fallen. The alliance is being driven from the Warred Desert, cities face siege and every retreat leaves fewer soldiers standing between the orc armies and the nations beyond.
Tarimev is forced to lead through devastating loss, while Torvald commands the Protectorate across a widening battlefield. The rulers of Lotine argue over strategy, old friendships strain under the weight of command and the cost of survival grows with every victory.
Hope lies where few would dare to search: within a hidden city and among orcs who refuse to follow Kradak. To survive, the heroes must decide whether enemies can become allies—and whether trust can be forged quickly enough to change the course of the war.
