All 5 original novellas remain available, as well as being included in a revised form in Revenge of the Lich.

Cursed by a demonic axe and fueled with an unquenchable bloodlust, the Nameless Dwarf slaughters his own people in their thousands.

The survivors flee to the nightmare realms beyond the mountains, where no one has ever set foot and lived to tell the tale.

Freed from the axe, and horrified by what he has done, the Nameless Dwarf pursues them across the known world. Convinced there can be no atonement, he is prepared to sacrifice everything to save the last of his race from extinction.

The trail leads to the brigand town of Malfen, on the fringes of civilization. But no one passes though without paying a toll to an underground boss known as the Ant-Man. It is a toll that has already cost many their lives.

Publisher's Note: A Dwarf With No Name was previously published as The Ant-Man of Malfen

"I can say with no hyperbole that D.P. Prior is one of the most promising fantasy writers emerging on the scene today. Featuring a style that's intelligent yet accessible, imaginative yet concrete, the books in his Chronicles of the Nameless Dwarf series are a must for anyone hoping to get a sense of what's next in the fantasy genre. All of the books are highly rated and backed by respected reviewers, meaning this should more than tide you over until the next season of Game of Thrones starts."

Legends of the Nameless Dwarf is an epic fantasy series with strong elements of sword and sorcery, grimdark, and heroic fantasy. It will appeal to readers of David Gemmell, Stephen R. Donaldson, Joe Abercrombie, George R.R. Martin, Michael Moorcock, and R.E. Howard.
