Description Here is a piece I completed last fall for author J.A. Alexsoo for her forthcoming novel, Blood Branded . Hammerstone is a city caught between the worlds of Orcs and Humans. It is the only city of its kind in which the two races live side by side in relative harmony. However this intermixing of the races is strictly forbidden by the land's ruling Orc Clan, the Crimsons, and war is coming. In this uncertain time Frafnar, a young Orc of Hammerstone must find his way in the world, fighting to save that which he loves from the threat of annihilation.

The book is due out October 1st. Hope you enjoy.

Cheers,
-Arsheesh

Thanks so much.  I think I've mentioned this to you before but borders were never my strong suite and so I really spent a lot of time up front with this piece thinking through a border design and composition that suited the themes of the novel.
