A Look At The Orc Who Saved Valentine's (Loveable Monster Holiday)

'Wood yew bee my valentine?'

Orcs don't celebrate Valentine's Day. They celebrate Harglebargle, a seasonal holiday devoted to fire, meat roasts, wrestling, and mosh pits.

Darryn the Half-Orc has never celebrated Harglebargle, but he's also never had a valentine. His best friend Karla is out to give him the biggest Valentine's Day surprise when an Orc warband appears near their mountain village and the purveyor of all the village valentines suddenly goes missing. Will the lure of chocolate truffles, presents of choice skulls, and the power of friendship be enough to persuade Orc chieftain to leave their village in peace?

Written by author and avid Orc enthusiast Michelle Franklin, and Illustrated by cartoon sheep specialist Jonathan Burrello.
