FANG, A Rider's Word

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Eight summers after the black web went up over the drops, the Blacktooth are a name in the hills: two hundred and fifty goblins, thirty grown spiders, and a queen who knows only one goblin by his smell. Their boss, Skarn, sets the price. He always sells to both sides. Then an orc chief sends word over the mountains. Meat, more than thirty spiders can eat. And iron, which no goblin has ever been paid in. Kroggar of the Stonehide holds the high valleys this side of the passes, and he is losing them. Beyond the second pass, Murgak Bloodfang is uniting the tribes under the red fang. He beats each chief in front of his own warriors, and then he keeps every promise he made them. Orcs don't lie. So they believe every word a goblin sells them. For a goblin who sells everyone twice, the high valleys are the easiest market he has ever seen. But up in the mountains the cold is a second hunger clock. A frozen spider can't be woken, and a warmed one wakes owing every hungry day at once. Winter comes early to the passes. And Skarn has never met a buyer he couldn't price, until he meets one who pays for exactly what was named. FANG is grimdark war fantasy from the bottom of the food chain: brutal, blackly funny, and told by the goblin who sells the word, the rider who can't tell a lie, and the orc who stands at the warlord's left.
