Foothold

A tribe of orcs is taken through a ring of fire and stranded on a stone tabletop in a world nobody has ever walked.

Sena is a seer with blue eyes and no tusks, and a gift that only ever tells her two things: that something is wrong, and roughly where it is coming from. On an autumn night at the fish run, it wakes her.

What comes for her people opens in the air like an eye, makes no sound at all, and leaves no mark in the grass. It takes the whole tribe, one by one, and puts them down under a wrong sun on the flat top of a stone giant — a country nobody has ever set foot in.

Sixty years later, the last of them tells his grandchildren how it began.
