Publisher Description
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING FANTASY EPIC
For countless millennia, the dwarves of the have defended the stone gateway into Girdlegard. Many and varied foes have hurled themselves against the portal and died attempting to breach it. No man or beast has ever succeeded. Until now . . .
Abandoned as a child, Tungdil the blacksmith labors contentedly in the land of Ionandar, the only dwarf in a kingdom of men. Although he does not want for friends, Tungdil is very much aware that he is alone -- indeed, he has not so much as set eyes on another dwarf. But all that is about to change.
Sent out into the world to deliver a message and reacquaint himself with his people, the young foundling finds himself thrust into a battle for which he has not been trained. Not only his own safety, but the life of every man, woman and child in Girdlegard depends upon his ability to embrace his heritage. Although he has many unanswered questions, Tungdil is certain of one thing: no matter where he was raised, he is a true dwarf.
And no one has ever questioned the courage of the Dwarves.
The international bestselling fantasy epic now available in English for the first time.

Mr
Great book couldn't put it down
Wow
I have read all 4 dwarve books and they are amazing the whole story and journey is totally gripping with loveable characters and twists at every turn definitely worth a read
Not bad
This book is 752 pages long, yet despite this considerable length somehow the author manages to make the ending of the book feel rushed and disappointing, the first half of the book is excellent, really entertaining, a fully realised world from the Dwarfs point of view, but then it is like the author was under pressure to keep the page count down, and the final half begins to slide down hill into a quite lame predicatable ending, had he put as much imagination and vision into the final acts as he did the begining and middle, then this book would be one of the best books of recent years, of course had he done so the book would probably have been over 1000 pages!
