Stormblade is the second book in the Heroes trilogy of the dragonlance novels. It is written by Nancy Varian Berberick who also wrote many short dragonlance stories for Dragon magazine.

Stormblade chronicles Stanach the dwarfs quest to retrieve the powerful stormblade. The stormblade is a kingsword, a blade which is intended to break the deadlock among the council of thanes, and bring a new king to Thorbardin.

Unfortunately, the blade is stolen, but when it turns up, only one drawf is brave enough to go after it.

Stanach was an orphan. He grew up like any other dwarf, but was lucky enough to be taught the basics of smithying. After an argument with his girlfriends father, he sets off to find the mystical blade.

Firstly, he meets Lavim, a stereotypical kender. Together they travel, eventually being joined by the human Kelida and the elf ranger Tyrol . They end up meeting one of the mystical Irda, who informs them of their quest. After many wrong turns, fights and mislucks, they eventually make it back to thorbardin, where the Theiwar thane is attempting to murder Hornfel, the hylar thane to gain power over the thanes so he can rule.

After a long fight, the Theiwar thane is killed and the stormblade is restored to its rightful place. Unfortunately, Tyrol is mortally wounded in the process, and dies. As a mark of honour, they allow him to be buried in the garden of thanes ( a great honour for dwarves, even more for an elf )
