The True Bastards by Jonathan French

The True Bastards by Jonathan French

Half orc. All badass. A female chieftain in a brutal wasteland society fights to take what is hers in an action-packed, foul-mouthed fantasy adventure from the author of The Grey Bastards ("Nonstop action, though not for faint hearts."--The Wall Street Journal).
 
Fetching was once the only female rider in the Lot Lands. Now she is the proud leader of her own hoof, a band of loyal half-orcs sworn to her command.
 
But in the year since she became chief, the Lots have tested her strength to the breaking point. The Bastards are scattered, desperate, their ranks weakened by a mysterious famine, their fortress reduced to smoldering slag. And their troubles are only growing. A pack of ravening beasts circles their camp, while grasping human nobles hatch a plan that will shift the balance of power in the Lots.
 
Fetch and her comrades are still standing defiant--they're Bastards, after all--but even the toughest half-orc can take only so much; and Fetch knows they're on the verge of ruin.
 
As she strives to lead her hoof to safety and unravel the plots set against them, Fetching must journey through forbidden elven lands, overcome long-standing hatreds, battle a monstrous wizard of terrifying power--and, worst of all, delve into the dark truths of her own existence.
 
She's no stranger to fighting the world, but on this journey, sharp steel and a strong hog won't be enough. To survive these trials, she'll have to defy not just her foes but the very nature of the Lots.
 
The True Bastards is the sweeping, ambitious second entry in the Lot Lands series, an irresistibly thrilling, gritty, foul-mouthed adventure that deepens, expands--and again upends--the Bastards' unforgettable world.

Advance praise for The True Bastards

"[An] action-packed sequel . . . the story is filled with relentless action and powered by a cast of adeptly developed and emotionally appealing characters. . . . Fans will be overjoyed not only with the return of some beloved characters, but also with the novel's conclusion, which sets up the storyline for a much larger adventure to come. Imagine an outlaw biker gang of half-orcs riding giant war pigs and you've captured this saga's gloriously dirty soul."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Jonathan, who was born in Tennessee, began reading comic books at a young age. (His first issue was Conan the Barbarian Annual #11) After his family moved to the United Kingdom, his passion of fantasy, folklore, and bygone days grew even stronger. Jonathan was crawling over castle ramparts, visiting old churchyards, and gazing at towering cathedrals when he was nine years old. He returned to the United States. Before receiving his degree from Brevard College in the intriguing wilds of Western North Carolina, he survived Catholic school and a rebellious year in New York City (where he unintentionally met his future wife).

Jonathan relocated to Chicago after creating the universe of Autumn's Fall and began writing seriously. Robert E. Howard, Robert E. Howard, Robert E. Howard, Robert E. Howard, Robert E. Howard and Lloyd Alexander are two brothers. He and his wife, son, and two cats currently reside in Atlanta.

Autumn's Fall is approaching!
