When I’m tossed into the trunk of a car, I realize that what little luck I have has finally run out—especially when I find that Tony, the man who’d abducted me, is planning on using me to get back at my father. My chances for escape look pretty bleak when I’m handcuffed to Tony’s bodyguard, an intimidating man named Shepherd who apparently loves tight shirts and seems to be amused by making my life miserable. Soon, though, I learn that Shepherd has a heart and a brain.

Kirk Jensen always chased his dreams. He even left home and chased them across the country. He expected that hard work, training, and determination would make his dreams a reality. Afterall, people always say that if you work hard, you can achieve your goals. He did not expect to be a short order cook working long shifts for minimum wage. He certainly didn't expect to take the garbage out one night and find himself confronted by a thousand pounds of fury armed with fangs and claws. He did not expect to survive.

Die zwei Kriege fordern schwere Opfer. Auch Elbenheiler Raiwen muss sich im Norden von seinen Verletzungen erholen und sich im Leben neu zurechtfinden. Gelingt ihm dies in der Elbenstadt Erellgorh? Die Zwergin Brynnbett will mit ihrem Begleiter Kandro dringend an die Front und Waffen liefern, allerdings sitzt sie in einem Außenstützpunkt fest.

Die Welt von Erellgorh unmittelbar vor den zwei Kriegen - der erste Teil von Matthias Teuts Zwergen-Trilogie. Der Zwist zwischen den Elben und den magiebegabten Menschen spitzt sich zu; auch die Zwerge Eskrinors werden mit hineingezogen. Ohne vom großen Weltgeschehen etwas zu ahnen, verfolgen die drei Hauptfiguren des Romans ihre ganz eigenen Ziele.

Der Kampf um die Ordensstadt Crem steht unmittelbar bevor. Was können unsere Helden, die Zwergenkriegerin Brynnbett, Magister Jamon und der Waldelben-Heiler Raiwen, jetzt noch ausrichten? Die Bedrohung für Eskrinor rückt näher! Ihr irres Lachen hallte durch die Straße und hinterließ nichts als Kälte. "Es gibt kein Entkommen", rief sie. "Ihr habt euch in eurem eigenen Grab verschanzt." Das Heer der Waldelben belagert die Stadt Crem, der Krieg scheint unausweichlich. Zu groß ist der Hass der Thronwächterin auf den Orden der magiebegabten Menschen.

Suliel is returning to the walled city. But while she has the ability to assess others' primary loyalties, she remains deeply uncertain as to whom she can trust. Indeed, she even doubts her own mother's intentions. Fortunately, as she surveys her surroundings and navigates court intrigue, she's guided by a voice in her head: that of Kelsey, a sentient dungeon with an ax to grind. Unable to stifle her snarky attitude, Kelsey's avatar offends the black-eyed god Riadi when she expresses her desire to free the mortal races—a mission she expects Suliel to play a significant role in.

Being a small dungeon on the outskirts of town in the backwaters of an unimportant kingdom isn't easy, but Kelsey's done her best to level up and become the best dungeon she can be: Digging a hole of ever-increasing depth and complexity. Creating an undead atmosphere that would make a necromancer proud. Spawning monsters and treasure. Killing adventurers. But lately, things have gotten a bit stale.

He wasn't the slightly fat, fast-food-slinging new guy anymore. His whole existence changed that night he was attacked by a bear and joined the ranks of Kodiak Island's shifter community. He even managed to land his dream job on the island's police force. But Kirk is so much more than just another werewolf shifter. He's an alpha bear, the most powerful shifter on the island, and wanted by both of the dueling packs as an ally to settle their centuries-long feud.

Traveling to distant, exotic lands and meeting interesting, exciting people is all part of Kelsey's gig as a dungeon. And if she has to kill someone, well . . . they probably had it coming. Ever at her—or at least her avatar's—side is the dependable Anton, and now he's leading her on a quest across the ocean to rescue his people from slavery. That doesn't mean Kelsey can neglect the home front though. Her putative liege, Suliel, has earned a telepathic link to her, allowing the dungeon to coordinate the development of the barony.

In this series launch, Riley aims for an extraordinary target in a heist that will make history. Riley will try to steal the Crown Jewels of Iran.
