Orcs and humans have been at war with each other for as long as Snow can remember. Orphaned as a child, she has spent her years as a tracker, known only as the ‘Hooded Bandit’ by the king’s men. Stealing anything she can in order to survive the harsh human lands of Everdean. The only thing keeping her going is the determination to make those responsible for her family’s death suffer.
When a routine carriage robbery goes south, Snow finds herself face to face with the notorious orc commander himself. Taken as his captive and returned to Orc Mountain, Snow has a new goal: escape from the mountain no matter the cost.
An orc commander determined to end the war…
Azogg the Destroyer is a skilled fighter. As leader of the orc army, he despises humans more than most. The war has destroyed their homelands, leaving them all to suffer in the mountains. As commander, he knows that he must find a way to end this conflict once and for all.
With no other choice, Azogg finds himself tracking a royal advisor…only to have his plans upended by a sickly human female. One he quickly discovers is not what she seems. Azogg is resistant to trusting a human, but her extensive knowledge of the royal trade routes makes her the ultimate find.
Could this human be the key to ending the war?
Tempers and passion flare as both Snow and Azogg realize the only way forward is for them to work together. Will this unlikely pair be able to put aside decades of hate and distrust? Or will factors beyond their control drive them apart before they get the chance?
Welcome to Orc Mountain.

Rating: 3 Stars
My Review: This book was a short, fast-paced fantasy romance. I enjoyed it, but I wished it went a bit deeper at some points. I am not too upset about that since the book is less than 200 pages. There is only so much plot that can fit in such a small book. I like that it wasn’t filled with overwhelming spice scenes as well. Overall, it was a solid read. I recommend this book to fantasy romance fans who are interested in monster romance.
