Heroes and Halflings Series

Ashleigh is a rare beauty, sought after every man who meets her. When she happens upon a supposedly magical urn, she--   Wait, scratch that. She's not the star of this story, I am, and I'm not a beauty. Ashleigh was a good girl, but I've read too many stories about babes and beauties. This one is about ME, a half-orc, a homely girl, and owner of a failing pub. I've given up the mercenary life, and I'm glad for that. Adventuring's not for me.   A random encounter puts me back in the company of a mage I knew from my (brief) days as a mercenary. He needs my help, but I'm not much of a helper. I'm not much of anyone, actually. I'd rather be invisible.   But adventure has a way of finding me... unfortunately.

Ah, home sweet home... or so I thought. Not long after I return to my hometown, I get an eviction notice pinned to my door.   No, this isn't an eviction, it's a deportation. By the queen's orders, half-orcs are no longer welcome in the city. That includes me.   I'm forced to leave my pub and go "questing," for lack of a better word. And because pretty Ed Muskin still owes me a favor, he's coming with me.   What kind of trouble are we going to get into now, I wonder?

Slowly but surely, I've been adjusting to my new life in Daimonas, the city of demonicas. I've regained my sight, the mayor seems to like me, I'm making new friends, and it's nice to have Deep at my side. However, I really miss my brother... and there's trouble on the horizon.   Daimonas isn't the safe haven I hoped it would be.
