Publisher's Summary

The dwarves are going to battle for the last time.

There has been no word from the courageous warrior Tungdil since the bitter struggle at the Black Abyss. Dragons, magicians, and the cruel älfar have advanced far into the kingdom Girdlegard, ruthlessly seizing vast areas of land. It seems that the dwarves are facing their next battle with very little hope of survival.

But then the inexplicable happens; a dwarf warrior dressed in black armor returns from the abyss - with a formidable army in tow. This warrior calls himself Tungdil, and for his most loyal friend Ireheart and his allies, this means a new hope. But soon doubts begin arise.... Could this really be Tungdil the dwarf, or is this warrior following his own dark agenda? It is a question of the future of Girdlegard - and the future of all the dwarves.

In the final installment of this spectacular fantasy epic, the greatest of the dwarves' adventures begins....

What the critics say

"Incorporating wall to wall action with undercurrents of dark humor, Bodyguard of Lightning is a gritty, fast-paced novel with a neat twist. The heroes are orcs - though you wouldn't want to meet any of them on a dark night!" (David Gemmell)

Praise for the Orcs series:

"With grand scale world building, labyrinthine plotlines, extensive backstory and pedal-to-the-metal action, Nicholls captures adventure fantasy at its very best." (Publishers Weekly)

"....A neat idea and Stan Nicholls pulls it off with great panache...enough weird sex to keep the tabloids outraged for weeks. You'll never feel the same about Lord of the Rings." (Jon Courtenay Grimwood)

Another exciting book from this series!

another great book my Markus Heitz! This story gets very dark , and had me guessing as to what would happen. There were brutal battles, giant monsters, and touching moments. Everything I want in a fantasy book. This and book 3 have been my favorites of the series.

Wish I had stopped at the third book

The book tricked me into thinking it was going to get better, but never did. This ruined most of the returning characters and was generally a disappointing read.
