Hunter's Tales: The Imps' Curse (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798890909862)

HUNTER'S TALES: The Imps' Curse is a story within a story. An old man who everyone calls Hunter is telling the tale of one of his adventures to a small crowd on a stormy day. This story is one of his earliest adventures. It begins when a bedraggled young dwarf named Ryder arrives at the Guild College with a plea from her father for aid against a dragon that a group of his warriors stumbled into. Along with his best friend, Tamra, and the powerful mage Sariah, he accompanies Ryder back to her home.

Throughout a journey that takes them through land, sea, and even air, the small group encounters hidden foes, unexpected friends, and dangerous, hidden lands. Meanwhile, a rebellion is afoot in the dwarven kingdom. The loyal survivors of a coup are forced to flee into the deep tunnels underneath the dwarven capital city.

Unaware of this violent transfer of power, the group continues south. Through a strange twist of fate, they join up with the rebel dwarves and other allies to free the rest of the dwarves from the grip of a cruel tyrant. Will they succeed in their endeavors and oust the usurper to instill the rightful heir to power, or will they all, friend and foe alike, be consumed by an unknown power that none of them know exists?
