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.

Excellent story! Narrator a little quick in his reading and why oh why are all dwarves Scottish? Given the Welsh are miners and tend to be shorter wouldn't that be a better accent?

Excellent

Matthew Wolf does an excellent job narrating this large and varied cast. He brought the characters to life, understanding their emotions and motivations which gave the characters far more depth.
I enjoyed the story, which had some interesting twists. It was fascinating to delve deep into the world of dwarves, a welcome change from humans and elves.
The characters shone as they developed and I would have liked more of this.

A slow starter for me but worth the wait. The characters, timelines, orbits, realms, kimgdoms take a while to wrap your head around but go on to create enjoyable fantasy. The story follows a nice sweeping arch of characters on a journey. I enjoyed the narration and variety of voices. Some convenient plot but that made for a good pace and reliable outcome. Will definitely read the next two too.

an original and enthralling storyline with believable characters who are not perfect but so much more real for it.

The Dwarves more human and more real than many human heroes
