The lords have fallen.

But ever shall there be those that vie for power.
Those that seek opportunity in death.

Prince Ivar’s body burned, one more corpse upon the pyre.
One more casualty of the Battle of Torglen.
His brother Vlayan makes claim for the throne and control of Volgsland.

Willuck awakes amid the chaos, broken and bloodied.
Hope has died. Willuck is dying.
Another of the lost. A vagrant in a war-torn land.
One more wandering husk in need of a friend. And a purpose.

A young sorcerer seeks to prove himself.

A jaded guard loses purpose.

A motley band marches for vengeance. As the kingdoms burn, the survivors of war claw their way from the mud.
Seeking purpose. Seeking direction.
Seeking their place, no longer beneath the heel of their rulers.

The Dregs is the newest entry in the Vermin of the Old Empire series. Like the previous works (The Scroungers and The Pawn) it is a standalone. While there will be bits and pieces of crossover throughout the series, they can be read in any order.

This novella follows the fates of more of the survivors of the Battle of Torglen, as well as some of those that were not involved in the war.
