A series of fantasy novels by Stan Nichols now entering its second trilogy. The first trilogy, called ''Orcs: First Blood'', consisted of ''Bodyguard of Lightning'', ''Legion of Thunder'', and ''Warriors of the Tempest''.

Stryke is the Captain of the Wolverines, an orc warband that was sold into the service of Queen Jennesta, a depraved half-human half-nyadd sorceress who fights in a war between the Manis (those who follow the Manifold Path with many gods) and the Unis (those who believe in only one god) in Maras Dantia, the land whose magic is slowly being "eaten" by the humans.

During one mission, where Jennesta commanded them to retrieve an ancient artifact, the warband falls into misfortune: a group of kobolds steals the artifact. The Wolverines' search for it (and, eventually, others) becomes a bloody trip through Maras Dantia, where they encounter religious fanatics, trolls, and three very determined bounty hunters.

<meta name="generator" content="MediaWiki 1.31.1"/>
* [[0% Approval Rating]]: Jennesta among her own army (the orcs even start {{spoiler|deserting en masse}}).
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"/>
* [[Action Girl]]: Corporal Coilla. Justified in that she's, well, an orc.
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon.png"/>
* [[Exclusively Evil]]: Subverted as ''every'' race has its villains and heroes.
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico"/>
* [[Automaton Horses]]: Sometimes horses are killed or begin to tire, but most of the time the orcs keep their horses running for long periods without rest or food.
<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" href="/w/opensearch_desc.php" title="All The Tropes (en)"/>
* [[Big Bad]]: Jennesta.
<link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" href="https://allthetropes.org/w/api.php?action=rsd"/>
* [[The Big Guy]]: Haskeer. Out of the three bounty hunters, Blaan also qualifies.
<link rel="license" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"/>
* [[The Chosen One]]: There are hints that Stryke is chosen to lead the orcs in rebellian against Jennesta, but he refuses to be a leader of anything other than his warband.

* [[Creepy Child]]: Mercy Hobrow, Kimball Hobrow's daughter, who likes to watch sinners beaten.
</head>
* [[Crystal Dragon Jesus]]: More like, ''Actual'' Jesus, as the Unis are almost indistinguishable from [[Medieval European Fantasy|Medieval European]] religious fanatics. In fact, they even reference ''Satan'' at one point. The Unis also seem to portray modern right-wing evangelicals (unadorned churches, married clergy etc.).

* [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]]: Averted on several occasions by showing that the Orcs simply can't understand a lot of human customs and nature, just as the humans can't understand the Orcs' obsession with fighting one another.

* [[The Reveal]]: ''Several'' towards the end of the book.
</div>
* [[Right-Hand-Cat]]: Jennesta has a pet cat called Sapphire.
