Synopsis

The Dwarves are back! Germany's Number One bestselling author returns to his best-loved series.

After decades of occupation by the älfar, the dark elves have been defeated and peace has finally been declared.

But the nations still distrust each other, and when a child is found in the Grey Mountains who speaks the language of the älfar, the dwarves believe this little girl heralds a new threat. And they will be right - just not in the way they thought.

Under the orders of Ireheart, now High King of the dwarves, a small delegation is sent to search for Tungdil Goldhand, the true High King, who many believe dead. Against all odds, Tungdil has survived his mission to the terrifying realm of Phondrasôn. But is he truly the legendary hero of the dwarves, or an impostor at the heart of a deeper conspiracy?

And does he realise that the fiends from Phondrasôn themselves aren't far behind . . . ?

The action never lets up in this next exciting story in the saga of the dwarves and the älfar!

About Markus Heitz

Markus Heitz trained to be a teacher after studying history and German literature, then going on to an MA in History. He spent several years as a journalist, writing in his free time, before the runaway success of The Dwarves allowed him to give up the day job. His debut epic fantasy novel, Schatten über Ulldart (Shadows over Ulldart) was the first of many of his books to win the Deutscher Phantastik Preis (Germany's premier literary award for fantasy) in 2003. Since then he has frequently topped the bestseller charts, and his Number One bestselling Dwarves and Aelfar series have earned him a place among Germany's most successful fantasy authors. The DOORS series, where each book follows the adventurers as they choose a different door, have earned him a whole new audience as he plays with fantasy, thriller and mystery tropes to keep the reader always interested. He currently lives in Saarland, in Germany.

Goodreads review by Andy

Es war langweilig. Nichts neues unter der Sonne. Es war langweilig. Wenn der Autor seine Bücher immer nochmal schreibt und es dann Fortsetzung nennt. Bitte keinen 6. Band wie angedroht 🙏🏻......more

Goodreads review by Roberto

Questo volume narra una storia successiva a quella trattata nei precedenti 4 libri. Sono passati 250 cicli solari e nuovi problemi incombono sulla Terra Nascosta. La storia potenzialmente è bella con nuovi personaggi e nuove sfide. Il libro non può essere letto senza prima aver letto gli altri quatt......more

Goodreads review by BRS

I was eagerly anticipating #5 after the smashing epic adventure that Fate of the Dwarves was. After reading the site's description, I was disappointed to see that it seemed there was a book missing in between, which ended up being Alfar #4. The widely accepted chronological & reading order for the Dw......more

Goodreads review by Philip | Book Walk

Nach einer viel zu langen Zeit die seit dem letzten Zwerge-Roman im Jahr 2007 ins Land gestrichen ist, beglückt uns Markus Heitz nach einem faszinierenden Abstecher ins Reich der zwergischen Gegenspieler, nämlich den Albae, nun wieder mit einen echt zwergischen Fantasy-Epos. Im mittlerweile fünften......more

Quotes

Traces of true magic, wit and secrets untold . . . you will enjoy the story Fantasy Book Review on The Dwarves series

Very entertaining . . . [These] books are worth reading Dat Book Reviews on The Dwarves series

A gripping read with some very memorable characters . . . this will definitely satisfy Worlds in Ink on The Dwarves series

The Dwarves is a well-constructed classic fantasy story that I greatly enjoyed Speculative Book Review

I was turning pages and eagerly awaiting the next plot twist. I totally recommend this book Boom Tron on The War of the Dwarves

The prose is sharp, the action sequences bloody and all in this has been a real joy to read . . . pure joy from start to finish and definitely one I'd recommend to other fantasy fans. Falcate Times on The Fate of the Dwarves

To pithily, if a little inaccurately sum it up, The Dwarves is just like Tolkien's The Hobbit, if the Hobbit grew up, started wearing a hoody and drinking on street corners. Or perhaps, Tolkien with a dash of Gemmell and a sprinkling of George R.R. Martin. Malazan Empire on The Dwarves

The prose is sharp, the action sequences bloody and all in this has been a real joy to read. Throw into the mix some cracking double-dealing, some political machinations and all in this series has been a pure joy from start to finish and definitely one I'd recommend to other fantasy fans Falcata Times on The Dwarves

But Heitz is a master of the art of creating fantasy worlds, giving his Dwarven race a rich enough history to make them believable, in much the same way as Stan Nicholls has managed with his 'Orcs' novels . . . It's an interesting twist on the usual fantasy tropes that the elf characters are so frequently back-footed and revelation of the magical power and foresight of certain humans may come across as a bit of surprise. A solid piece of fantasy fiction about war, bravery and sacrifice SF Crowsnest on Revenge of the Dwarves

An impressive fantasy tale told with conviction and a stunning end to the trilogy. A great fantasy read and thoroughly enjoyable! Highly recommended! Fortress of Solitude on The Dwarves
