About this listen

For countless millennia, no man or beast has ever succeeded in breaching the stone gateway into Girdlegard. Until now....

Abandoned as a child, Tungdil the blacksmith is the only dwarf in a kingdom of men. But when he is 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 immersive realm of Girdlegard

An absolutely fantastic book with Matthew Wolfs tireless voice. Die Zwerge is a fan favourite in my household.

Interesting and likeable characters

I started off our thinking the narrator was a little robotic but he picked up the game quite well and the story builds with interesting, likeable characters it’s slightly different to other books is this genre I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series, i guess I’m a little hooked😊

a fantasy book about dwarves

TLDR: A cookie cutter fantasy

I actually didn't really enjoy this book. I though the characters were a bit dull and the story was a stereotypical hero's quest with no meat beyond that.

That said, I'm being generous with the stars because it does what it's aiming for well enough. it's a fantasy book about dwarves.

If you like dwarves in your DnD or Warhammer settings, and you have an itch to read novels where they're not just the stoic companions, this will do you. There's enough lore in the trilogies to keep you busy even if the characters don't have much depth.
