Blurb:

Zarnikorek spent much of his life in the service of a wicked orc king. When a new rebellion seizes control of the kingdom and overthrows the king, Zarni has no choice but to move back to his quaint hometown in the Ghun-Ra valley.

With his life of regal service seemingly in the past, Zarni must live a quiet and inconspicuous life of loneliness to avoid being recognized. But when the new king’s mage adviser pays the goblin a visit, Zarni is tasked with a quest that could change everything.

Teaming up with a jovial halfling wagoner, he embarks on an unforgettable road trip for the ages to follow an ancient and mysterious trail. But as their friendship grows, Zarni might just discover something he thought he’d never find again.
