After our unlikely heroes return from their travels and celebrate with a dance party, a prank gone wrong inadvertently unleashes something ancient and evil. Even worse, in a tower in the middle of a dark forest, the same necromancer that fought the legendary Drod One-Eye has sinister plans for the Orcish tribe.

Meanwhile, Pez finds an unexpected friend amongst the Elves, who have their own stories of a terrible presence long since slumbering. There’s trouble brewing in the wide Known World, and soon the Orcs might find that a necromancer is the least of their problems!

Decades ago, a coven of mystic Reptilians bound Larsen to the eighth realm of hell (Philadelphia). Here she would toil over an unforgiving drawing board, creating horrible wonders for the amusement of her demon cohort. A Harvey Award nominated cartoonist, Larsen has illustrated licensed comics for Adventure Time, Samurai Jack, Regular Show, and Kung Fu Panda; while creating the original series ORCS! and co-creating By Night for Boom Studios. A litany of independently published work also adorns her curriculum vitae. Her illustrations have been hung at the Society of Illustrators. Meanwhile, in the bowels of Philadelphia, she teaches classes in the mystic arts of comic making and illustration. Larsen resides with the rest of her small, goblin clan in a north Philadelphia row home.
