Mithgar: The Silver Call Books in Order

The Silver Call duology, made up of Trek to Kraggen-Cor and The Brega Path, returns to one of the most important locations in Mithgar: the great Dwarven stronghold of Kraggen Cor. Set more than two centuries after the defeat of Modru in the Winter War told in The Iron Tower, these books follow a new generation of Dwarves determined to reclaim their old home from the creatures that have infested it.

King Durek of the Dwarves has resolved that his people can no longer live scattered and dispossessed. Kraggen Cor, however, is not simply abandoned; it is crawling with Foul Folk and guarded by deadly things that lurk in its tunnels and at its doors. No surviving map shows all the ways in and out. To solve that problem, the Dwarves turn to the Warrows, whose chronicles of the Winter War include detailed accounts of the fortress and its surroundings.

In Trek to Kraggen-Cor, the Warrow Perry and his friend Cotton, along with human ally Kian, agree to guide Durek's army across Mithgar to the mountain fastness. Their journey is slow and often grim, marked by skirmishes, political tensions, and the growing sense that the enemy inside the mountain is more than just a scattered rabble. By the time they stand before the doors of Kraggen Cor, they have seen enough to know that the coming battle will be ugly.

The Brega Path picks up with the assault itself. With the Dawn Gate held by enemy forces and the Dusk Door guarded by a monstrous tentacled creature, Durek must divide his strength. Perry, Cotton, Kian, and a hand picked band of Dwarves attempt the legendary Brega Path, a twisting route through the heart of the mountain that might let them open the fortress from within. Outside, the bulk of the Dwarven army faces massed Foul Folk in a fight that could end their dream of restoration in a single disaster.

Together the two books offer a concentrated dose of Dwarven culture and stubbornness, with Warrow wit and resilience threaded through. They also bridge older and newer Mithgar tales, showing how the echoes of the Winter War still shape the world centuries later. Readers who have finished The Iron Tower will find this duology a natural next step, but it can also be read on its own as a two part campaign to win back a haunted home.
