Rotic, a human boy, was a slave when High Orc Chieftain Vizri first rescued him. Now, as Vizri's adopted son, Rotic has become a renowned warrior and leader of the Orc Army. Rotic is confused when he's gifted with a male consort, but he knows he has earned his place in life, and he has full confidence nothing will ever take his power and position away from him.
Ogun is used and broken when he's brought to the castle of the High Orc Chieftain as tribute -- actually a sly insult -- by the underhanded Dark Elves. When Ogun is named Consort and meets Rotic, his new partner, he finds himself lost in a whole new way of life before the sun has set. He has a new position and a growing relationship with Rotic. Nothing could ever ruin this for Ogun.
But with treacherous humans threatening the Orc Nation, magical and cultural landmines to traverse, and a new wife added to the mix, Ogun and Rotic's lives are changing faster than they can blink. Ogun and Rotic have to learn to adjust and overcome before the differences between them become an insurmountable mountain that will destroy them both.

Praise for The Difference Between
"I admire the world building in this novel: the society of the Orcs, in all its stark, violent straightforwardness, is developed with care and detail. This story is interesting, imaginative... if the blurb appeals, you should give it a try."
-- 4 Stars from Coffee <3, Amazon Review
"I loved The Difference Between by Stephanie Burke. From the first word to the last, I was hooked. I loved the world the author made and all of the supporting characters, especially all of Rotic's mothers. I also loved all of the action and battles, in addition to all of the hot scenes between Rotic and Ogun. "
-- 5 Stars from Carrie Krogh, Amazon Review
"Oh, man. I loved this book. For once, the Orcs are an honourable race, honest and to the point, full of integrity. I can't say how long I've wanted a story like this, and Ms. Burke delivered fully. Absolutely recommended by me."
