The Harbinger of Doom Saga #11
Drums of Doom
In the Age of Myth and Legend, the Lord’s Arkon Thetan lost his faith, abandoned his honor and his solemn oaths, and betrayed the one true god — he who loved him above all others. Thetan’s treachery threatened to bring down the very heavens and cast his name in infamy, forevermore.
When the mountain troll horde surrounded Lomion City, rivalry and machination paralyzed the High Council…until the mysterious Baron Jaros appeared offering salvation from the trolls. Salvation that came at a weighty price.
King Bornyth Trollsbane of the Darendor Dwarves was fearless, and confident that his people could withstand any siege, assault, plague, flood, or famine. Hardy were his Dwarves. Determined. Tireless. Patient. The problem was, the Draugar –- the dead that walked — were all of that and more.
Uriel the Bold had safeguarded the portal betwixt Midgaard and Nifleheim for untold ages. He’d repelled wizards, warlords, and hordes of howling barbarians. But what hope did he have to stop The Shadow League’s cadre of Archwizards and the Nifleheim Lord that led them?
The Eotrus had suffered beyond all imagining: family members dead, missing, kidnapped, their fortress, sacked. But now it was Ector’s turn to take the battle to the enemy. To march on the troll city of Gothmagorn and exact his revenge…though it might cost him his very soul.
Captain Frem Sorlons was one of the toughest men to ever walk Midgaard. But deep in the heart of Svartleheim, when the drums of doom sound, even a brave hero can fall.

Great series. Too much fill material
Let me be clear. I love this series, the story line, and character development. That being said, there is a substantial amount of "filler material" in this book. It's the only reason i give three stars instead of five.
While I understand and appreciate suspense as well as anticipation in building up to the climax, i don't think it's necessary to break up main points of the story with chapters about **** crawling through tunnels.
The story is amazing, the characters are stereotypical only in their titles (evil vizior, pirate captain, mages, etc.). They are presented in a unique way in this series to the point that you can almost see them in front of you. Regarding the story line, it takes serous cajones to tackle biblical aspects concerning god and the old testament... even more to mix all the other mythos into it. I eagerly anticipate the following books. Please consider the reader when waxing eloquent about certain aspects of the story.
