About this ebook

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 élfar 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 . . .

Ratings and reviews

While not as good as the first 3, the book is still very good. You do get the feeling that Heitz had so many ideas ... And very good/creative ones at that... on how to tie up so many loose ends... Without giving it a candy coating... That it would have been better as a 2 volume set... Giving the author the time and space to flesh it all out. At the end of the day I enjoyed the book, and unlike some other conclusions... The ending "fit".

I cried for 2 hours straight at the end. Good thing there is a book 5.

A fine end to a great tell
