Adenashire #5
A Fellowship of Academics & Arts
What if sharing a cookie with your enemy made your dreams come true?
Verdreth and Ervash, both orcs, are about to embark on the most “terrifying” adventure in their lives together… becoming grandpas.
Their adopted human daughter, Arleta, is ready to give birth in mere hours. Of course Verdreth is thrilled to take on this new role with his long-time partner since he never imagined they’d experience such an honor… particularly with the rocky start to their relationship.
To pass the time, one of their friends asks Verdreth to tell the tale of how he and Ervash met. He’s reluctant, since they were very different orcs when they met over thirty years prior. But with Ervash’s permission, (and to help him calm his nerves) he starts at the beginning…
Since, in fact, it’s always a good place to start.
Escape to Adenashire’s past for a touching cozy fantasy story about family beginnings, new experiences and finding the people who bring out the best in you.

A cozy hug of a book; one that makes you feel all the hope and love in the world. I love love love this world so much and I'm so glad J. Penner continued this series to give us the story behind these two characters and their relationship; it felt like the final piece to the puzzle of this series. :)
