The Triumph of the Dwarves Summary

The Triumph of the Dwarves by Markus Heitz

The Dwarves are back! Germany's Number One bestselling author returns to his best-loved series.

After decades of occupation by the alfar, 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 alfar, 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 Phondrason. 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 Phondrason themselves aren't far behind . . . ?

The action never lets up in this next exciting story in the saga of the dwarves and the alfar!

'The Dwarves is a well-constructed classic fantasy story that I greatly enjoyed' - Speculative Book Review

The Triumph of the Dwarves Reviews

Traces of true magic, wit and secrets untold . . . you will enjoy the story * Fantasy Book Review on The Dwarves series *
Very entertaining . . . [These] books are worth reading * Dat Book Reviews on The Dwarves series *
A gripping read with some very memorable characters . . . this will definitely satisfy * 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 *
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 * Boomtron on War of the Dwarves *
It's a really good read for fans of Dwarves specifically and High fantasy in general. I'll absolutely be reading the next three books! * Internet Book Review on The Dwarves *
Deep character description, cool fight scenes, really good read * Between Two Books on 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 *
The Dwarves is a well-constructed classic fantasy story that I greatly enjoyed * Speculative Book Review *

About Markus Heitz

Markus Heitz trained to be a teacher after studying history and German literature, then going on to an MA in History. He spent several years as a journalist, writing in his free time, before the runaway success of The Dwarves allowed him to give up the day job. His debut epic fantasy novel, Schatten uber Ulldart (Shadows over Ulldart) was the first of many of his books to win the Deutscher Phantastik Preis (Germany's premier literary award for fantasy) in 2003. Since then he has frequently topped the bestseller charts, and his Number One bestselling Dwarves and Aelfar series have earned him a place among Germany's most successful fantasy authors. The DOORS series, where each book follows the adventurers as they choose a different door, have earned him a whole new audience as he plays with fantasy, thriller and mystery tropes to keep the reader always interested. He currently lives in Saarland, in Germany.
