Centuries ago, humanity ventured into the stars, reshaping their DNA to create new, enhanced species. Some sought harmony, while others pursued conquest and expansion. Among them is Kartz of the Tone Tekin tribe—spacefaring barbarians known as orcs. Though born in this time, Kartz carries the psyche of a 21st-century Earthian implanted in his mind, giving him a rare perspective as he plunders the galaxy.

Kartz’s exploits have already caught the attention of Princess Peeka, heir to the throne, yet his ambition stretches further—he wants Queen Maryah herself. Can he master his impulses and navigate the deadly games of power, or will desire drive him to ruin? Dive into this action-packed space adventure where the stakes are high, the rivals fierce, and the possibilities as limitless as the cosmos!
