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!

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
Markus Heitz has taken an iconic fantasy race and moulded them to fit his own story and successfully brought a new tale of this fantastic race
Unleaded Fuel for Writers on 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
High fantasy at its finest . . Four out of five stars, and a recommendation to anyone who likes high fantasy.
The Towering Pile on The Dwarves
There are over 700 pages of fantasy, politics, and hardcore axe combat to enjoy. Like I said, Heitz really loves his short beer-chugging, metal-forging, axe-swinging butt-kickers. I recommend this book to anyone that either rooted for Gimli or those seven dudes that helped Snow White
Velociraptor-King, DeviantArt on War of the Dwarves
There are epic battles, bloody conflict, treachery, suspense and even a bit of romance as our valiant hero and his friends take the fight to their enemies door. This third book may be the best yet in an already impressive and entertaining series. A great fantasy read. Highly recommended!
Movie Fan Central on Revenge of the Dwarves
What truly made this epic worthwhile for me however, was Heitz's unique characterization . . . The plot is complexly layered, the characters are well rounded and dynamic, and the conflict builds tension and suspense that I found my heart racing especially during the last 150 pages. While this is not a book for all readers, if you are a true lover of fantasy than The Dwarves is not to be missed
Eating YA Books on The Dwarves
Engrossing read . . . If only all fantasy was written as well as this!
The Book Bag on The Dwarves
The level of detail Heitz has put into creating his world is immersing
Dat Book Reviews on The Dwarves
Just as talented musicians can create myriad of symphonies with only 12 musical notes, Heitz demonstrates us how talented writers are able to create greatly enjoyable stories based only a few basic, well known concepts . . . The Dwarves was a pleasant surprise.
Speculative Book Review on The Dwarves
Heitz's talented story-telling ability draws the reader into the action . . . In the end I was turning pages and eagerly awaiting the next plot twist. I totally recommend this book
