Bragante, also known as the Firstborn, has grown elderly and weak, so
she decides to reveal the truth about her past to her granddaughter. She
had a passion for books, and very early on felt the anguish of
childbirth. Her elder status means she is responsible for educating the
last-born, but she refuses to shield the child from the monstrosities
that her father, the king, is known for. It is through unrelenting
cunning that she might someday survive to take the throne.
Exploring the origins of the Ogre Gods fantasy universe, this latest
(and final) volume in the series introduces Bragante, known as the
Firstborn among the giants, and the last to survive childbirth to the
increasingly larger next generation. She has witnessed the evolution of
her family and their increasing brutality, and vows to not let their
wickedness pass on to the most recent "last born". Her tale is full of
woe and intrigue, as well as strength, cunning, and conviction...
This internationally celebrated series of dark fantasy tales have been
described as Game of Thrones in a Brothers Grimm fairy tale, presented
as if a Disney animated feature.
