Kneadful Things

Orcs have a reputation for being rough around the edges and more likely to have a sword in hand than a wooden spoon. But Urzog Rockhill, an orc baker, spends his days kneading dough and selling his creations from his bakery in Petylhaven. From cinnamon rolls to breads and cakes, each morsel is imbued with a dash of magic to invoke memories of childhood or even change emotions in each comforting bite. His quiet life of providing for his family is disrupted when an overly inquisitive writer comes looking for a story and dredges up a past Urzog would rather keep buried. Trouble arises, and Urzog comes face to face with his greatest shame—the day that ruined his life and cost him his dream—that now threatens his family and the new life he built for himself. Urzog must choose to let the truth come out or risk losing everything.
