The Secrets of UDA United Dwarf Alliance by William J. Jarema

The Secrets of UDA: United Dwarf Alliance is a new and inventive science fiction tetralogy based on the nine Dwarf Clans and the current uprising of evil. The date is 1001 a.u. and the evil Verlod have been attempting to grab their place in history by perverting the minds of Dwarfs. Their master is Archbishop Haridan, the leader of the Monastery of Fordosheol, and the most feared figure in the known world. Young Delko is naive and foolish. His playful frame of mind has long gotten him into trouble. He is unaware that greatness has been hunting him down. He is about to be chosen as the next Advocate and will find himself in an adventure he never would have chosen. He will learn the ways of magic, the Sword of Truth, and that he must defend the future of the United Dwarf Alliance. The lives of every Dwarf, Elf, and Druid will be changed … but evil has another plan.
