The Orc of Many Answers

The Tales of Many Orcs #2

by Shane Michael Murray

Down the mountain, one orc who asks too many questions tumbles, fleeing his past, with only an elven horse, a pair of boots, and an old book for company. Below the whole world awaits him, filled with humans, elves, trolls, and a thousand other monsters that make a habit of killing little orcs like Talking-Wind.

Worse than any of them is the Lady of Firebrand Peak, the dragon who told Talking-Wind to stay put and wait to be eaten like a good orc. Orcs hate questions, but the one thing they hate more than orcs that ask too many questions is an orc looking for all the answers. The pursuit of dangerous knowledge only ever leads to trouble for the tribe. The Lady is not kind, nor is she forgiving.

If Talking-Wind wishes to have any kind of chance to survive he will have to understand why dragons are what they are, and what makes dragons do what dragons do. If he can stay one step ahead of the Lady of Firebrand Peak maybe, just maybe, he might even find a way to fight back.

Talking-Wind will need answers.

And a lot of them.

About the author

Reading was always an escape, however at some point all the stories began to jumble and take on a life of their own, refusing to be contained. Wizards may find themselves in my worlds, however creating something I can share with others is for me the best kind of magic.

Great story. Cant wait for the next one. Keep up the good work. Found the first for free and had no problem paying for the second.

Would recommend this book to my friends and have already done so on several occasions. If you haven't read these books yet I feel sorry for you.

On edge

Just like the first it kept me on edge. I had to read in one sitting because I couldn't put it down

This is the second book in the series, plenty of twists I did not see coming, which gave the Author more room to expand on the first book and bring some thing totally new to the second book, I am really looking forward to the 3rd book.

So good

I admit I liked the first book more but this was still an enjoyable read. Excited to see what happens in book 3.
