The Duchess and the Orc

An Orc Sworn Standalone

By: Finley Fenn

Narrated by: Shane East

He’s a massive, mocking, murderous monster. And she's offering him...everything.

In a world of recently warring orcs and men, Maria is desperate for escape. She’s trapped in an opulent prison, tainted by rumours of madness, and wed to a cold, vindictive duke who hungers only for war.

But with no family, no funds, and no hope, there’s nowhere left to run—except for the one place even a duke can’t reach. The place where women almost always meet their doom: Orc Mountain.

It’s a grim, deadly fortress, filled with fierce, bloodthirsty beasts. The first orc Maria meets is the most terrifying of them all. A huge, hostile, hideous brute, hardened by hatred and war, who instantly accuses her of foul trickery, and threatens her with death.

But this orc also wants something...something that kindles deep in his gleaming black eyes, in his rough, rugged scent, in the velvet heat of his voice. Something that just might grant Maria his safety…but only if she grants him everything in return.

Her defeat.

Her dignity.

Her devotion.

Surely a duchess wouldn’t dare make such a shameful deal with the devil—or would she? Especially when surrender might spark yet more war...or bring the mighty Orc Mountain to its knees.

A dark, angsty, full-length fantasy romance. Comes after The Librarian and the Orc in the Orc Sworn series, but also acts as a standalone. Happily ever after guaranteed.

Yes, Yes, Yes, love this series

Hot, sexy Orc's, Lord of the Rings ruined Orc's but this series shows a different side of Orcs; that's why I started listing to this series. The Duchess is a real b#@!#, but the Orc's rocked her world. They are far more intelligent and everything than she expected, can't help but respect them. Yes, I will continue this series, can't wait for the next book. Author continue the series with appearances from previous characters and I love that. The narrator is outstanding, Well worth the credit!!!!!!

Shane East Nails It

I've enjoyed this series, the portrayal of the Orcs' societies and culture, and the struggles with human relations. I sometimes got tired of the unrelenting angst. Shane East gave voice to the Orcs in a way that made them completely believable.

Outstanding

Each book in the series keeps getting better. Finley Fenn weaves intricate stories of fantasy and love. I hesitated purchasing the first book in the series. It was well worth the credit and I went back for the remaining books. Shane East made the book even more intriguing with his perfect narration. He has the ability to seamlessly move from one character's voice to another's with ease. I wish I could give all of the categories more than five stars.

Yet another great one!

Finely Fenn does it again! I love your books, there just doesn't seem to be enough. I would love the backstory of these clans. Starting from the first they read about in this. The book Rosa translated and made for the Orcs library.

It won me over

I started this not realizing it was the middle of a series. I actually had the lasted book downloaded on my kindle not realizing part of the same series. I must say I was not a fan of the narration at first. It reminded of Count Dracula and I was like no absolutely not but the more I listened to it and got into the story I was like ach yeah. If you ken you ken. I will listen to another in the series hopefully the other MFC aren’t as extra as Maria. She was sympathetic but so far whiny I wish we had more time to see her in her empowered state but that is the point I guess. Good mixture of spice and substance
