Jacquelyn Smith 
Quicksilver: A Legends of Lasniniar Short [EPUB ebook] 

(Previously published as “Legends of Lasniniar: Quicksilver” by Jacquelyn Smith.)
Hero of Lasniniar. Dwarvenhome’s Chief of Clans. Barlo can claim both these titles, and more. (But never ‘Master Chef.’)
Brave, stubborn, and loyal to a fault, he takes pride in his judgment of character. And he holds no qualms about sharing his opinions. (Much to his elf friend Iarion’s chagrin.)
…Even when it means he must tell an unwelcome truth.
A stand-alone story of the infamous Barlo and Iarion from the Legends of Lasniniar fantasy series by the author of the Fatal Empire series, Jacquelyn Smith. (This adventure takes place between the World of Lasniniar novels
Wave Runners and
Godmaker.)
