The Legacy of the Watcher

The Half-Orcs, Book 9

By: David Dalglish

Narrated by: Jesse Ditch

“Break your opponent, little Erin. Shatter their will. End their life. Anything else is playing games with death.”

----

She is Erin Felhorn, the hidden daughter of the legendary Watcher of Veldaren. She is also Erin Gemcroft, inheritor to the wealth of one of the three families of the Trifect...which might have meant something before the east was destroyed in the Gods' War. Her family has sailed west, seeking safety in the lands of Ker, which were spared much of the wrath of the Fallen when the Night of Black Wings befell the world. In their capital city of Angkar, she trains, ever seeking to live up to the stories of her father, Haern.

What were just stories quickly become real when the Godslayer, Harruq Tun, arrives as escort to the young prince of Mordan. They come to ensure a lasting peace between the two nations as well as the last survivors of the elven people, but Erin cares for none of that. With the half-orc's arrival, she can be trained by someone her own father trained. Except there are those among the elves who have witnessed the destruction wrought upon the land by the human gods and seek to elevate their own. Those who would follow in the legacy of the Darkhand, who conquered human cities with vice, assassination, and betrayal. They would build for elvenkind a new kingdom, the Sun Kingdom, where humanity is ruled by those who who live eternal.

To get what they want, they will come for Erin's family. They will destroy the life they have built in the west. Not even the Godslayer is safe. Her only savior is the one person she should never trust: a ghost of her past believed dead by all the world.

Thank you

This was an very enjoyable book and a much better way to end the Half Orcs than book 8 was. This book is definitely worth a listen, especially if you've kept up to this point. The narrator wasn't the greatest but the story more than made up for it. Thanks for giving one of my favorite book series a much better sitting off.

My Favorite Author!

The world of Dezrel has been my favorite place to read and return to for so long now. I'm a huge fan of all of David Dalglish series. But the half-orc series was my first introduction to the land of Dezrel, and to this day I haven't found a cast of characters I've loved more than those of the Half-Orc series. I highly recommend these books and thank you to the author for writing what is still to this day, my favorite book series.
