The Dwarves are reunited with their home in the mountains, but not everyone is open to sharing life with the Humans inhabiting the land. The evil King seeks to rule them all and knows he must get to Owen in order to gain complete dominance and control. When a mysterious figure is sent to capture Owen, he must fight for his life and form an alliance to vanquish the King. With the help of his new friend Kaia, can Owen abolish racial indifference and create peace or will the evil King destroy all that Owen and Uthgar have fought so hard to build?
