In the mid-80s, Dennis McKiernan's Iron Tower trilogy established this writer as one of Tolkien's heirs, creating a new realm of epic fantasy with his land of Mithgar - home of Warrows and wondrous creatures, allied in battle against a titanic evil. He's written of Mithgar over the past twenty years, achieving bestseller status... but in 2004, he published the first of a new series unrelated to his previous body of work. Building upon much-loved fairy tales, he is creating an entirely new mythology -- and likely to gain an entirely new readership.
