What happens when good people are forced to become monsters to survive?

For countless generations, the giants have lived by a single creed:

Take only what you need.

Deep within their hidden valleys grows the Evergrain—a sacred crop entrusted to them by their ancestors. It grants no wealth. No armies. No kingdoms.

Only divine wisdom.

The giants guard its secret with quiet devotion, believing wisdom belongs only to those humble enough to seek it.

Then mankind discovers the Evergrain.

What begins as curiosity becomes greed.

Villages burn.

Children fall.

The peaceful race that once tilled the earth is hunted to the edge of extinction.

With no hope remaining, the Elder of the Giants turns to the only leader feared by every kingdom:

Thorak, Chieftain of the Orcs.

A warrior without equal.

A strategist who has never lost a campaign.

Thorak offers a terrible truth.

"Mercy only works on those capable of giving it."

To save their people, the giants must abandon the plough for the sword.

Farmers become soldiers.

Gentle hands learn to kill.

As the war spreads, elves, trolls, goblins, centaurs and ancient races are drawn into a conflict that will decide not merely who rules the land—but who deserves to inherit wisdom itself.

But victory demands a price.

And when the final campaign begins beneath the cover of a human festival, the greatest question is no longer whether evil can be defeated...

...but whether goodness can survive becoming the thing it hates.

The Evergrain is an epic fantasy of impossible choices, unforgettable heroes, devastating battles and the fragile line between justice and vengeance.

Perfect for readers who love The Lord of the Rings, The Faithful and the Fallen, The First Law, The Bound and the Broken, and The Stormlight Archive.

Because sometimes...

the greatest harvest

is peace.
