The Fate of the Dwarves

The Fate of the Dwarves audiobook, written by Markus Heitz, translated by Zdeněk Sladovník. Read by Libor Hruška, directed by Helena Rytířová. The Dwarves #4 The dwarves march to battle one last time for the fate of their nation. Tungdil Goldhand has been missing since the fierce battles in the Black Gorge. Dragons, mages, and cruel älfs are penetrating ever deeper into the Girdled Land, seizing control of larger and larger parts of the realm. The dwarves are fighting for their very survival, but they feel that little hope remains. Then, however, an inexplicable event occurs. A dwarven warrior returns from the gorge, followed by an army of terrifying monsters. He calls himself Tungdil, and Boïndil and his companions welcome him with enthusiasm. But doubts soon arise – is it really Tungdil, or is the newcomer following his own dark plan? The greatest adventure of the dwarven nation begins.
