Driven from their ancestral home by the Humans, the Orcs are forced to eke out an existence until one hunter dares to defy tradition.
They had one sacred rule. Never, under any circumstances, go into the mud hut!
Unlike other young Orcs, Urgon sees it as a challenge, and he's prepared to risk everything to unlock its secrets.
Shrouded in mystery, what's inside reveals a hidden past of his people, leading him to question all that he thought he knew.
Urgon's father sacrificed himself for the future of the tribe—will he now do the same?
Mercerian Tales: Honour Thy Ancestors delves into the rich history of the Orcs of the Black Arrow by following the rise to power of their greatest chieftain, Urgon. Although best read between books eight and nine of the Heir to the Crown series, this book can also be read as a stand-alone tale.
