Dwarven Steel & Dragon Fire: The Queen of Hamb

"War! Finally, we are going to war!"

Cheers of excitement swell in the streets of Farank, arguably the most powerful kingdom in the old world. For far too many years, the reign of sea witch Aidasha over the Northern realms has gone unchallenged, undisputed. She, who grants sanctum and protection to hideous creatures and races created by archdemon Mutander himself, must fall!

King Utbrecht of Farank, wise and experienced leader, seems to be the only one to disagree. He despises unnecessary bloodshed, preferring diplomacy and negotiations over swords and canons. In a last-ditch effort to save the peace, he asks the Golden Throne ambassador to intervene. The mysterious Kyara reluctantly accepts. Together with Halbar of Malan as her bodyguard and one of the most infamous mages of the old world, she travels North to stop the war before it begins.

This is the Australian English edition of "Zwergenstahl & Drachenfeuer", one of the best-selling German fantasy novels of 2020. Driven by imaginative worldbuilding, a wicked sense of humour and breath-taking battles, the novel won both the "Silberner Stephan 2020" and the "VLP Fantasy of the Year" awards.
