Facing exile, Modrad sets out on a mission to gain entry back into Vargrom, the mountain city he has always called home. Even if he can survive the journey and succeed in his quest, the council may have other plans for Modrad, leaving the dwarf to ponder his future. From the pages of The Fire King comes the story of Modrad's early years. This new print edition also includes a never before released short story sequel, Modrad's Surrender.
