Herbert Mine Stalker

Herbert Mine Stalker is a rather unusual dwarf. Far taller than his friends, with no beard and his wild, flame streaked hair, Herbert struggles to fit in. Having caused two major accidents in the mine where he lives, Herbert finds himself banished and unable to work. With less than a year to go until his calling, when he must choose his career for life, Herbert has no idea what to do. Taken pity on by the Royal family, Herbert travels outside the mine and meets Sally Gathen, who he immediately falls in love with. He saves Sally's sister's life, and with his new best friend Gorf, a Rock Giant, saves the Royal family from tragedy. Trying to be kind, Herbert finds himself elected Champion of the Mine with the job of killing the dragon who has taken over their home. Scared to death and with no idea how to go about it, can he possibly succeed?
