The Nameless Dwarf
The dwarves have gone! Thousands have been slaughtered in the blood-drenched streets of their ravine city by a demonic axe in the hands of one of their own. The survivors have fled beyond the mountains, heading into a realm haunted by the nightmares of a twisted god. When Nils Fargin, son of an underworld boss, is hired to find them, he travels with his client to seek the advice of a lowlife mage. With what he learns, he should have asked for more money. The trail leads them to the domain of the terrifying Ant-Man, who is rumored to eat the flesh of anyone refusing to pay his toll. And as if that wasn't enough, it turns out Nils's client is none other than the Nameless Dwarf, better known to...
Curse of the Black Axe
The Nameless Dwarf is condemned to always wear a great helm forged from ocras, the mythical ore of the underworld. Without it, he would fall prey to the power of the Black Axe and once more become the Ravine Butcher. After a year of fighting in other people’s wars, Nameless receives a visit from a faen, one of the underworld tricksters, who tells him the day he has long waited for has arrived. The philosopher Aristodeus has devised a plan to destroy the Black Axe and free Nameless from the ocras helm. With the aid of new companions and an old friend, the assassin Shadrak the Unseen, Nameless must retrieve three artifacts that, combined, will bring an end to his suffering: The gauntlets of the fire giant, Sartis, whose lair lies in the roots of a volcano; The invulnerable armor of the Lich Lord of Verusia—an undead tyrant with a penchant for impaling and the drinking of souls; And the Shield of Warding, beneath which cowers a paranoid god on the fringe of the Abyss. But things are never that simple. Each of the companions has their own reasons for joining the quests, even Shadrak, who has been bound by an irrevocable contract— To kill the Nameless Dwarf.
Reasons and Persons
This book challenges, with several powerful arguments, some of our deepest beliefs about rationality, morality, and personal identity. The author claims that we have a false view of our own nature; that it is often rational to act against our own best interests; that most of us have moral views that are directly self-defeating; and that, when we consider future generations the conclusions will often be disturbing. He concludes that moral non-religious moral philosophy is a young subject, with a promising but unpredictable future.

Skull of the Lich Lord
The Nameless Dwarf is sentenced to death by the survivors of Arx Gravis. It is a fate he willingly accepts. The assassin Ilesa has abandoned him, and so it falls to the rogue Nils and the wizard Silas to stage a rescue. But with the Lich Lord’s grimoire obsessing him more and more, Silas may no longer be in control of his destiny. Sick and close to death, he is haunted by visions of an ebon staff in a forest of tar. As a chilling doom closes in on the companions, the last of the dwarves are threatened with extinction at the hands of ravenous beasts that live only to feed. And in the background, orchestrating it all, lurks an implacable horror Nameless had thought destroyed: A skull with crimson eyes that feast on living souls.
