OFFERED BY THE ORC

The monster needs a sacrifice. And she's on the altar...

When Stella wanders the forest alone one fateful night, she only seeks peace, relief, escape. A few stolen moments on a secret, ancient altar, at one with the moon above.

Until she's accosted by a hulking, hideous, bloodthirsty orc. An orc who demands a sacrifice: not by his sword, but by Stella's complete surrender.

TRYGGRED BY THE ORC

He's supposed to run... but he wants to be caught.

In a world of orcs and men, Eben of Clan Ka-esh is shy, awkward, and desperately lonely. No one notices the sickroom's quietest scholar, not even when he's saving lives, or offering up decadent pleasures in Orc Mountain's darkest depths.

Until Tryggr, of Clan Skai. A tall, shameless, laughing orc warrior, who can have anyone he wants...

And Tryggr keeps looking at Eben. Seeing Eben.

YULED BY THE ORCS

"He is my gift to you, this Yule's Eve. Shall you accept him from me?"

In a world of orcs and powerful men, Lydia is a shy, widowed washerwoman, forgotten and alone-until the day the orc drops in, with a full sack of laundry on his back.

He's tall, rangy, and utterly confounding, with his silver hair, his deep jolly laugh, and his twinkling, coal-black eyes. And when he offers to bring Lydia great joy, it's a gift that just keeps giving, drawing her ever deeper into his wicked, wondrous charms...

At least, until he invites her to spend Yule at his cozy, candlelit cabin. And when Lydia arrives, he offers her a brand-new gift, wrapped in a pretty red bow...

Another orc. A stranger.
