Then a murderous Bro-Troll kidnaps his dad and Greg is whisked away to the Underground, where Dwarves have lived for centuries right beneath Chicago.

Luckily for me, I’ve got a team of capable ...

Somewhere within this maze of death is Goodfellow’s Eye—a gemstone I’ve been hired to retrieve. Luckily for me, I’ve got my team with me—Cade, the paladin, Roc the bard, Odon the barbarian, and Aram…my ex...

Being a hybrid dungeon core is complicated. Sarah’s being hunted by a kingdom, courted by a lich lord, interrogated by a magical library—and invited to far too many bureaucratic meetings.

The Forge... It’s not a place that gives anyone the warm and fuzzies. No, The Forge is a dungeon mine that used to be home to the Deep Mountain Clan of dwarves.
