A halfbreed troll searches for justice on the monsters responsible for razing the village that adopted him... and finds something else entirely.
Rickter is an average young man with one not-so-small exception, his father was a troll. Raised by a blacksmith in a town of apprehensive townsfolk, he feels his life is difficult enough as it is, but when his town is ravaged in an attack by trolls, he finds himself in hot pursuit of vengeance. Along the way he finds that the monsters he seeks are only a burgeoning sign of far worse things to come.
