About this ebook
The fantasy world came to us.
America struggles to adjust to new populations: elves, orcs, dwarves… Worst of all, the Goblin Invasion in the Mojave Desert.
Vic Shatterspear makes his way in this new world as best he can. An orc with a whole lot of attitude. An ex-con with his own business. He hauls goblin hides to Sacramento for the bounties. He picks up the odd hitchhiker to break the monotony.
Today Vic picks up an elf, and a whole lot of trouble.
"The Hitchhiking Countess," a rollicking fantasy short story full of attitude and adventure. The first Vic the Orc story. From Stefon Mears, author of the Cavan Oltblood series and the Spells for Hire series.
