Never Come Between a Dwarf and Revenge

Winner of the Black Library Reader’s Choice Award for 2025, this epic Warhammer: The Old World novel is as much a deep portrait of Dwarf culture as it is a thunderous tale of war and vengeance. Gav Thorpe gets to the very heart of who the Dwarfs are — why they live by their codes, why grudges are never forgotten, and just how far they will go to defend everything they hold dear.

A King Forged by Grudge and Duty

When his father falls, Barundin of Zhufbar inherits not just a kingdom but a burden of unfinished business stretching back generations. As king of one of the mightiest outposts of the ancient Dwarf empire, he sets out on a quest spanning centuries — hunting down his father’s killers, settling old scores, and standing as the last line of defence against the relentless dark forces of Chaos.

An Epic Tale of Honour and War

This is Dwarf storytelling at its finest — grim, determined, and deeply compelling. Barundin’s journey is one of sacrifice, resilience, and the unyielding belief that no wrong goes unanswered. Whether you are new to the world of Warhammer or a long-time fan, this novel offers one of the most authentic and moving portrayals of Dwarf life ever put to page.
