Hugo- and World Fantasy Award-winning writer G. Willow Wilson and all-star artist Chris Wildgoose invite readers to experience love on the brink of extinction in their high fantasy tour de force!

In a dying world, only humans and orcs remain--mortal enemies battling for territory and political advantage. But when a group of fearsome ancient humanoids known as the Vangol arrive from across the sea, the two struggling civilizations are forced into a fragile alliance to protect what they have built.

As a gesture of his commitment to the cause--and to the relief of his bride-to-be, Faran Stoneback--the most powerful orc overlord, Troth Icemane, sends his beloved cousin Tara, a high-ranking young healer, to fight alongside brash human commander Callum Battlechild and his company of warriors. With a crisis looming, the success of this unlikely pair's partnership and the survival of their peoples will depend on their ability to unlearn a lifetime of antagonistic instincts toward one another...and rise above the sting of heartbreak.

This was a great fantasy/sword and sorcery graphic novel. You follow the stories of a group of 'last standing' humans and orcs, as they make an alliance together for the first time to fight against a common enemy.

The story is sprinkled with violent battles, banter, romance and the perfect balance of politics and travelling along the open road. I really liked the way the characters of different races learned to find commonality with each other and to work against their differences so they could defend their dying world from a larger threat. I also liked how elusive the enemy is and it seems there is a lot more to them than what first meets the eye. I'm really interested to read more about them in particular and to see what drives them and where they came from.

The illustrations are really quite beautiful and the artists have done such an amazing job with the colouring in particular and creating really atmospheric scenes. The Orcs are also really cool looking.

One thing I did find distracting was the way that within each speech bubble, there were like 2-3 words that were formatted in bold. It was really off-putting at first as I kept instinctively reading it with emphasis on these words, even though it didn't sound right or make any sense. I eventually was able to just ignore it. It just seemed really unnecessary and I'm not sure why they decided to write it this way.

Overall I really enjoyed this! I lost myself in the story and was engaged pretty much the entire read through. I'm looking forward to see what happens next.

Thank you NetGalley and IDW Publishing for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
