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. * 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. Swords Against the Shadowland marks Bailey's first foray into the rich world of Nehwon. Based on Leiber's notes and drawing heavily from the mythos he constructed, a new chapter in the lives of two of heroic fantasy's most enduring heroes begins here.
