Dwarves may be small in stature, but they have a big impact in the magical world.
Where do you think all those gems and precious metals used in royal crowns come from? Dwarves mine them out of the deep earth. Need a riddle to stump the Sphinx herself? Go ask a dwarf. And everyone knows the best armor and weapons are forged by dwarves.
They might not have magic powers or abilities, but they do have muscle and cunning. Explore the many facets of these mighty folk in the latest issue of Spellbound.
We’ve got thieving dwarves, tricky dwarves, industrious dwarves and dwarves who aren't there anymore. We have stories and poems with brave girls, sleuthing boys, and all manner of mystery and adventure. All of this packed into one compact package of an issue. As with all previous issue, Spellbound includes fantastic art, a reading list and other goodies.
