Series
Mithgar
Dennis L. McKiernan · 14 novels · 2 novellas · 5 novelettes · 6 short stories · 2 collections · 1984–2014
Dennis L. McKiernan's Mithgar novels are set in a Tolkien-indebted high-fantasy world of Elves, Dwarves, Warrows, and ancient evils, told across a loose sequence of trilogies, standalone novels, and story collections rather than one continuous arc. Dragondoom, one of the series' entries, follows a dwarven expedition seeking vengeance against a dragon responsible for an old massacre. The books span roughly three decades of publication, sharing setting and history more than a single throughline plot.
