The Orc's Promised BrideAn Orc Fantasy Romance
Lothar tells himself that he is entering the Bride Trials merely as a way to test his strength and skill against other orc warriors. But when he realizes the female he is given a chance to court is in love with another, he finally admits how much he longs for a mate of his own.
He does the honorable thing and withdraws from the Trials, retreating to the wilderness to lick his wounds - only to find a strange female desperately in need of his help.
Haunted by a troubled past, Jana lives as a virtual recluse, hiding away from everyone. Her one refuge is her beloved garden - until she suddenly finds herself in a strange new world.
The massive orc who finds her has a charming smile and a quick wit, but there is a loneliness in his eyes which matches her own. Can they find refuge in each other, or will they both end up alone again?

Reviews and Comments
This was another fun addition to the Five Kingdoms series and I enjoyed getting to know Lothar better as well as getting to know Jana and see how their relationship developed during this story. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone but it was fun getting to see Wulf and Kari from the previous book briefly and I am looking forward to reading Egon's story in the next book The Orc's Bonded Bride.
