An Orc on the Wild Side

An Orc on the Wild Side is a humorous fantasy novel that follows King Mordak, a well-meaning but somewhat inept Dark Lord striving to be less malevolent, despite the resistance of his goblin followers. His efforts to modernize and promote peace, including healthcare reforms and ending a war, threaten to shake up his domain, prompting him to seek distraction among new human settlers. Praised for its clever humor and inventive storytelling, this book is part of Tom Holt’s acclaimed collection of fantasy comedies.
