In 1912, Lawrence eloped with a married woman, Frieda Weekly, and the pair left Britain to travel Europe.

The story has violence, family drama, violence, betrayal, violence and a spot of implied nookie. Our main focus for this issue is Braga the Orc and how she came to be embroiled in the world of the Rat Queens (although this is only the start of that tale).
