About this listen
Who can withstand the vengeance of dwarven kings?
The life of a dwarven prospector is one of shame, loneliness, and a constant battle for survival. Striking it rich is the only way for Naen to keep his bones from bleaching in the sun without heritage or memory. When riches finally fall into his hands, he encounters a group of indentured servants fleeing from a vengeful master. A dwarf-maid named Jade leads the refugees, but she has her own desires for her future and they don't seem to include Naen. Yet in the face of the brutal wilderness, they need help to survive, and the experienced Naen could give it. When spring comes, should he leave them to their fate and return to the wilds alone, or should he stay with the outlaw dwarves and face the coming onslaught?
Mocked as the King of the Cripples, the epithet could become Naen's true heritage as the ragged refugees prepare their mine to withstand the vengeance of dwarven kings.

Satisfying slow burn
Great book with a lot of buildup. I am not normally one for a slow burn fantasy, though have been trying them out as of late. This book didn’t necessarily make me identify with the main character, but it made me root for him. In a fantasy land where the fate of the world isn’t at stake, The Crippled King certainly tugs at your heart strings and makes you root for the man who constantly forces himself to be an underdog. Really enjoyed this book, and will definitely be reading/listening to the rest of the series.
