A wolf beastman who crawled out of a pile of corpses has no right to talk about mercy.
Kai Esi once climbed to the throne over the skulls of human warlords. He dragged the Darkfang tribe back from the brink of annihilation with an iron code, and carved the belief that “weakness is the greatest sin” into his very bones. Now the borderlands of Splitfang are in turmoil. Human armies are determined to raze the black market, beastman traitors are out for his life, and even the oasis they depend on teeters on the brink beneath the shadow of the Star Core.
He keeps a sheet of paper covered in secrets hidden away, endures the backlash of the Bloodfang ritual, watches his adopted daughter Lina venture into danger, and hears the curses of slaves echo in his ears. When Gul’dan threatens the lives of the miners and wagers the fate of the wasteland, the Black Wolf Lord finally tightens his grip on the dagger at his waist.
As long as the throne stands, he will not die.
This is a desperate gamble for survival, and the story of a wolf beastman lord who spent his life seeking revenge and protecting those in his care.
