Backstory

Blood mixed with ink as Yenna Shadowstrider signed the first peace treaty in her tribe's thousand-year history, her hand still trembling from the arrow wound she'd received protecting the enemy diplomat who sat across from her. The Iron Peaks had known only endless cycles of raid and revenge until the day she discovered her younger brother's war journal, filled with sketches of the human children he'd been forced to kill—drawings that drove him to take his own life rather than continue the slaughter. That night, she challenged her mentor not in honorable combat, but by choosing to heal a captured enemy scout instead of executing him, an act of defiance that cost the old chieftain his life when he tried to stop her and triggered a blood feud within her own ranks. Now she walks the knife's edge between two worlds, building fragile alliances with former enemies while dodging assassination attempts from traditionalists who see her mercy as the ultimate betrayal of orcish blood.
