Search Worlds Without End

Kline Maxwell was a serious political reporter, covering the City Hall beat for the Cleveland Press. He wasn't interested in working on "fuzzy gnome" stories, or any of the other unbelievable tales that should end up only in sensationalist rags. But twelve years ago a magical Portal had opened into Cleveland, a Portal that had ruined much of Cleveland's modern-day technology even as it released magical energy all over town. And suddenly there was a shift in the population as humans fled the burg while dwarves, elves, dragons, ogres, gnomes, mages, and every other denizen of the fantasy realm on the other side of the Portal began moving into town.

And whether he wanted to or not, Maxwell had found himself covering stories that sometimes took him far from his political stomping grounds and into way too much danger both magical and mundane. Now, just when he thought he was safe from all that, a mysterious phone call from a dwarf who wanted to give him information about the unexplained suicide of the former City Council President drew him into a case that had dark spells, destruction, and death written all over it...

From the lowest of the low will arise a hero...

This is the prophecy given by the god Reorx to Verden Leafglow, a reformed green dragon rejected by Takhisis, the queen of villainy. For good measure, Reorx tells the dragon to give the hero a helping hand.

"Forever Aghar"

But who is this mighty hero? Why none other than Bron, son of the leader of the gully dwarf tribe of Bulp. Befriended by Verden Leafglow, Bron must prove his mettle as the first Aghar hero when the gully dwarves are caught up in the struggles that follow the War of the Lance.

The Gully Dwarves

The Lost Histories Series probes the historical roots and epic struggles of the heretofore little-known peoples of Krynn.

Here begins the tale of the mighty gods of ancient days and other worlds. Odhinn, the wise and powerful Allfather... Thor, the hammer-wielding Thunderer and destroyer of giants... Loki, the cunning Spirit of the Flame, whose mischief promised the doom of nine worlds...

Theirs was the power to claim and conquer. From the highest realms of the gods, to the domain of Queen Hel and her spirit-gathering Valkyries, they would ultimately be challenged by the forces of a great and terrible ring.

Forged of the Rhinegold and cursed by the dwarf Andvari, the ring held the final destiny of all worlds...

The ring held evil power, and those with wisdom sought only its destruction - to obliterate the Rhinegold from which it was made. First stolen by cunning Loki from the dwarf Andvari, the Rhinegold bears an eternal curse, betraying the hand that bears it.

But now Jordh, the living spirit of the middle world who bespeaks every strand of all destinies, can see only one path avert ultimate catastrophe for the nine worlds: Odhinn, the wise and powerful Allfather, must risk recovering the ring from the icy lair of a dragon.

So begins the final battle fo the mighty gods and spirits of ancient days. An epic war to end all wars...
