Along the way, the company faces trolls, goblins, giant spiders, and worse. But as they journey from the wonders of Rivendell to the terrors of Mirkwood and beyond, Bilbo will find that there is more to him than anyone--himself included--ever dreamed. Unexpected qualities of courage and cunning, and a love of adventure, propel Bilbo toward his great destiny--a destiny that waits in the dark caverns beneath the Misty Mountains, where a twisted creature known as Gollum jealously guards a precious magic ring"--Provided by publisher.

The ancient magic of Galdervatn continues to spread throughout the world, calling forth mythical monsters and new challenges for thirteen-year-old Greg Belmont and his Dwarven crew. Then Greg learns that the Dwarves' enemy, the Elves, are planning an attack led by their leader, Greg's former best friend, Edwin.

Ever since Greg Belmont found out he is a dwarf with magical powers, everyone is expecting him to be a hero. With a rogue group of Elves headed towards Chicago to destroy the Dwarven capitol, Greg sets out to find a powerful amulet, the only hope in stopping war with the Elves. But Greg's former best friend, now archenemy, Edwin, is also searching for the amulet, and Edwin is determined to find it first. Greg must race against the clock to stop Edwin and the Elves from destroying the world.

Ordinarily, thirteen-year-old Greg Belmont likes being ordinary, which would be fine, except that every Thursday his family's ancient curse strikes. Last Thursday a polar bear attacked him at the zoo. Now, however, Greg finds out the truth--he is actually a fantastical Dwarf. His dad gets kidnapped by the Bro-Troll and Greg must travel to the mythical world beneath Chicago, where Greg finds himself in the middle of a conflict of magic between the Dwarves and Elves.
