Synopsis
Long before the Winter War, Prince Elgo of the Vanadurin kills the dragon Sleeth and takes its treasure. The hoard is cursed and brings generations of death, war between Men and Dwarves, and ruin. Now the dragon Kalgalath, allied with the wizard Andrak, seeks that treasure. Two rivals, the Warrior Maiden Elyn and the Dwarf Thork, set out to find a legendary warhammer that may be the only weapon able to defeat them. The author calls it a love story with dragons, wizards, giants, dwarves and humans.
