Sarah doesn’t trust orcs. The relocation of her highland village to the underland is a choice she would not have made - not that anyone asks for her opinion. Despite being the infamous Talker of Firehead Hill, she is the very last person that should be in charge. She is a fool . When Coal’s wee wife goes with her village as they move to the orc capital for the winter, he doesn’t hesitate to follow. He doesn’t expect to like what he finds there as much as he does. Safety, innovation, and the chance for his growing family to heal. He is an outsider . Killian is a stammering wreck of an unmated orc blacksmith. From the moment the humans trek into the capital, he can’t stop dreaming of the smiling mother and her big husband. He is an orc . “Humans only mate in pairs.” What happens when they break the rules? When an impossible mark is made on green skin, is it meant to be? Or has there been an ill-fated mistake? How long can a fool , an outsider , and an orc keep a secret? "Bladebound Orcs: Killian" is the second book in a series. While it can be read alone, there are interconnected plot points and reoccurring characters that resonate better when the books are read in order. This is an MMF romance. There is an HEA. Be aware of CW's within.
