Dwarf Balin, a participant in the glorious campaign of Thorin Oakenshield, organizes an even more dangerous task. He gathers a detachment to return the dwarves to their ancestral lands - Moria. At first, Balin and his comrades are lucky and manage to clear Moria of orcs and trolls. But more dangerous enemies await them in Moria.

Author's notes: To all those curious: if the book is now positioned as a co-authorship, then there are good (personal) reasons for this. And, by the way, the poems in the book belong to the talented Vladimir author Andrei Gusarov, for which many thanks to him.
