Grey Bastards

A raucous, bawdy, blood-soaked adventure fantasy debut that''s The Lord of the Rings reimagined by way of Sons of Anarchy.

Jackal is proud to be a Grey Bastard, member of a sworn brotherhood of half-orcs. Unloved and unwanted in civilized society, the Bastards eke out a hard life in the desolate no-man''s-land called the Lots, protecting frail and noble human civilization from invading bands of vicious full-blooded orcs.
     But as Jackal is soon to learn, his pride may be misplaced. Because a dark secret lies at the heart of the Bastards'' existence--one that reveals a horrifying truth behind humanity''s tenuous peace with the orcs, and exposes a grave danger on the horizon. On the heels of the ultimate betrayal, Jackal must scramble to stop a devastating invasion--even as he wonders where his true loyalties lie.
