Swords Against the Shadowland

Robin Wayne Bailey

synopsis

Years ago, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser turned their backs on the city of Lankhmar and the painful memories it held. But now, a deadly plague, spawned from a sorcerer's curse, sweeps through the streets of Lankhmar, eating its victims from the inside and laying waste to the once-vibrant city. The two reluctant heroes are called forth once again to face Lankhmar’s winding alleys — and the old ghosts who lurk in them!
      Before his death in 1992, Fritz Leiber chose Robin Wayne Bailey, a respected author in his own right, to collaborate with him on the new adventures of his famed characters, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser.
