Everyone knew he was deadly, even in Hassell Point, a city full of outlaws and thieves. Â It was obvious at a glance, from his low slung knives, to the blood dripping from his knuckles. Â Â But the stranger wasn't looking for trouble, he wanted a fresh start and Lorik was determined to give him one.
Lorik is a teamster, delivering cargo throughout the kingdom of Ortis from his home deep in the marshlands where he has lived his whole life.  As rumors of magic and dragons in the northern kingdom of Yelsia cause the  King to march to war with his army, lawless men seize the opportunity to take what they can by force.  It could be the perfect time for Lorik to partner with the newcomer named Stone, but the young warrior brings problems of his own that could place Lorik and the people he cares about in even more danger.
Set in the world first introduced in the best selling Five Kingdoms series, the Lorik trilogy introduces new characters who will impact the destiny of this fabled land. Lorik is the story of a man whose world is suddenly turned upside down. Â His concern for a friend earns him an enemy, his actions make him a hero, but his honor could cost him his life.
