Legends of Lasniniar: Close Quarters

Narilga is tired of the Dwarvenhome courting scene and its flighty young men, who cling to bachelorhood almost as fiercely as they do their own beards.

Barlo is only a humble miner, but he harbors secret ambitions of starting his own forge someday, and perhaps even catching a glimpse of what lies beyond the mountain halls. Settling down isn't high on his priority list, but a chance encounter with the right woman could change everything.

This 7,700 word fantasy novelette adventure takes place before Legacy Hunter in The World of Lasniniar Series.
