Arkan and his rangers have saved the town of Perrysburg, and he has gained additional rangers to his cause. But now lurking to the south is an even bigger danger. An orc chieftain named Snog is in cahoots with the demigod Tenobs and a troll named Skrunk. They are gathering an army, and one of their biggest goals is to take out Arkan and anyone trying to help him. Arkan and his rangers are severely outnumbered, and their only hope is for additional aid, but only the gods know if any help is coming.
