From the first meeting of Dwarf and man in the Westwood Forest, the series covers four lands and many races, including; Dwarves, Elves, Druids, Dragons, Valkyrie, Satyr, Minotaur, Trolls, and a whole host of other races. With epic battles and large armies.
“The author is very good at creating believable characters in this collection. Would have rated it 5 stars but the E-books had too many grammatical errors that made you read the sentence twice to figure out what it was saying. There is plenty of action and surprises that otherwise make it an enjoyable read.” by Amazon Customer
