But Bloodraven is no mindless, violent ogrish beast.


Yhalen, refusing to bend, soon pays the price for offending prickly ogre pride. Surviving ogre viciousness, he finds himself given to Bloodraven, the half ogre, half human war leader as a slave. He discovers the meaning of true fear at their hands, and only the awakening of ancient magic saves him from destruction. Only grim tales of the barbaric giants had reached the forest, but Yhalen soon learns that even the darkest fireside story only hinted at the brutality of these Northern warriors. A son of a forest dwelling people, Yhalen knows little of the world outside the ancestral forest, until he is captured by a band of ogres on a slave-taking mission.
