Born into hardship, Dar learns to rely on herself alone. When her family betrays her, Dar is conscripted into King Kregant’s army and its brutal campaign to conquer a neighboring country. Now she is bound as a slave to a dreaded regiment of orcs, creatures legendary for their savagery and battle prowess.Rather than cower, Dar rises to the challenge.

As the war escalates–amid nightmarish combat and shattering loss–Dar must seize a single chance at freedom.

Got this as a Kindle freebie and finally decided to check it out. I've had a few bad experiences with the freebies, but this was not one of them. The story is about a woman -- Dar -- taken into the army as a serving wench. The brutality can be disturbing at times, although there is a constant thread of hope with Dar's strength and subsequent triumphs -- small victories, but inspiring nonetheless.This is a fantasy story, of course, and I've had some problems lately with the bleakness of mostThis book is the first of a trilogy that I most definitely will continue reading until it's finished! The book was very captivating, entertaining, and action packed as a slave-girl tries to survive in a war camp with cruel soldiers and other-worldly creatures called the Orcs. Dar was enslaved by the king of the realm's army, and forced to serve both the human and Orc soldiers alike. This story shows how Dar changed from a trusting, naive slave to a guarded yet tolerant and fierce fighter in her

Her strength comes from within and she is formidable. This is the first book in a trilogy and I was so enthralled that I immediately started the
I found this book just by chance and just from reading the blurb I was hooked. Dar is given into conscription by a family that had little materially and even less morally. Without a choice she accepts her fate and marches into the unknown. Those starts Dars journey into a period of her life where she not only has to grow but use the gift of swift thinking and guile to get through the days. From the moment she meet the bulk of the regiment, she is branded and introduced to the harsh realities of
I'm only on page thirty-seven of this one and already my jaw is clenched with RAGE. The brutality against women from nearly the first page raised my eyebrows, and as I read further the incredulity turned to red-eyed rage. At this point (page 37, mind you) I would love to cheerfully take and an axe and help the "heroine" have-at everyone in range, male, female and orc.I don't wear rose colored glasses about real life.
