Description
Freya and her sisters-Scara, Fina, Tauna, Pohla and Aidelle-escaped from slavery in Chimera and have proven themselves to be skilled warriors. Despite their prominence in the town of Haghill, Freya struggles to find meaningful work for her and her sisters-until their traveling companion, the halfling Fordoc, secures them a job: escorting a caravan of halflings to the city of Edradour and then back to their home in Cornerbrook. Relief at having work sours quickly as Freya clashes with the caravan leader, Bordoc. The halflings insist on stopping often and early, taxing Freya's resources and the group's safety.
The road between Haghill and Edradour is fraught with danger. Working together, the group must fend off deadly encounters from creatures, living and undead. But it is humans who prove the most troublesome. A rebel faction plagues Haghill and the surrounding areas. The rebel leader, Wolfric, has sent his heavily armored knights to steal, take hostages, and disturb the peace of the land. Wolfric, however, did not count on a group of resourceful half-orc caravan guards.
As dangerous as the roads may be, Freya and her sisters are confident fighters. However, out of armor, among the people of Edradour and Haghill, Freya must master the art of difficult negotiations with troublesome halflings and flirtatious scenarios with lieutenants and merchants. Freya must also contend with the fact that her party is growing. No longer the slave responsible only for the survival of her sisters, Freya is building her business, her connections, and her list of foes.
The Trouble with Halflings continues The Adventures of Freya and Her Sisters that began with Orc Hai!
