Publisher's Summary

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.

Worth Every Minute

My first auditable book and it got me completely hooked. I spend over 60 hours a month driving and this makes that time fly by and I’m even sadden to get to my destination for I don’t want the stories to stop.

A great book and I recommended to read

The story of the Dwarves is extremely well written, and I highly recommend it to everyone I know that enjoys the race of dwarfs.
Matthew Wolf does a great job narrating the book as well.

this book was amazing. the narrator really makes you feel for the characters. the only thing bad about this book was having to love it so much I listened to it 4 times in a row then I read it as well. all around 10/10 from me.

Could not get past the prelude

Written like someone in grade 10 was telling about the game they played last night. Full of the typical, old, tired cliches.
I have no idea how this could be a best seller
