Years ago, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser turned their backs on the city of Lankhmar and the painful memories it held.

The two reluctant heroes are called forth once again to face Lankhmar's winding alleys -- and the old ghosts who lurk in them. * After writing nearly forty stories chronicling the adventures of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, Fritz Leiber chose acclaimed fantasy writer Robin Wayne Bailey as his official successor.
