Sent by a witch on a foolhardy journey, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser return to the icy reaches of the north in search of dubious treasure. There, they are seduced by the glittering attractions of an ice woman, who brings them with her to her shadowy lair. Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser-brothers in arms-are overwhelmed by intimations of power and rise to usurp power in Quarmall, a dangerous region of lies, magic, and swords. • Any reader who loved the Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia series of novels and movies will enjoy Lankhmar. • 'One of the great works of fantasy in this century…unequaled in its ironic wit, mordant romanticism, and baroque invention, as well as a range of tone and affect not usually associated with the genre . . .
