Sand Graveyard: CRIMSON AXE CLAN, #1

Four banners must cross a desert built to bury them.

Grumdak has watched the Sand Graveyard take his people one death at a time. When a young hunter dies for a handful of roots, the chief of the Crimson Axe Clan makes the choice no leader before him dared: abandon the only homeland the orcs have known and lead the survivors toward the lost Crimson Mountains.

First, he must unite clans divided by hunger, blood feuds, and the ambitions of Zargul, chief of the Black Serpents. Then he must move children, elders, wounded warriors, and the last of their water through a wasteland ruled by colossal beasts, rival trolls, and enemies who believe the orcs should have vanished centuries ago.

Every alliance demands a price. Every victory leaves fewer warriors standing. And when black smoke rises over the battlefield, Grumdak must decide whether survival means preserving the old ways—or becoming something the desert has never seen.

Sand Graveyard is Book One of Crimson Axe Clan, a brutal epic dark fantasy of exile, clan loyalty, war, and a people fighting their way back from extinction.
