Synopsis

Within the Eternal Worm, a world slides inexorably beneath bioluminescent suns...
In the steppelands of the Bolus lives Chicken, a scout of his people, the kobolds, who are a savage lizard-like race. When an orc girl named Penelope shows up half-dead out of the desert, he and his tribe are plunged into disaster.
The orcish clans are uniting under an indestructible dark lord, who has some strange new ideas, and who intends to conquer the whole of the desert wastes. But all is not well among the elite of the new city of Hurraggh, as the former khans work to steer their eccentric new ruler.
Could Chicken be the prophetic hero, as foretold by Amerigo, his aquatic herald and fish-out-of-water companion? Will the power Chicken unearths be enough to save his people and fulfill his destiny? What misadventures await these unlikely pawns of fate?
A Helminverse Novel.
