Line 5:
The book tells the tale of Thrall, a young orc orphaned by assassins who kill both his parents. After being found by a human named Blackmoore, Thrall is taken to his castle, where he is raised to fight in gladitorial games to earn the alcoholic Blackmoore money. After escaping the castle with the help of a human girl, Taretha, Thrall travels to reunite the orcs.

This book contains the following tropes:
Line 24:
* [[Gladiator Revolt]]
* [[The Horde]]: Thrall makes The Horde 3.0. It's not yet an Alliance, consisting of just orcs.
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: Both played straight and averted. The main villains of the story are all human, and by the end of it, you're cheering Thrall on as he and the Horde storm Durnholde. At the same time, however, Thrall is well aware of humanity's capacity for good as demonstrated by Taretha and Sergeant, and when he sees the collective spirit of the human race during his shaman training, he finds that it's closer to his human friends than Blackmoore.
* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: Langston to a certain extent. Blackmoore is actually just a gigantic bully but does too much evil to be considered sympathetic.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Blackmoore has dozens of moments like this in his treatment of Thrall and Taretha Foxton.
