The Second Book Of Lankhmar

Witty, gripping and urbane, Fritz Leiber’s Lankhmar books are among the best loved of all modern fantasies.

After their legendary adventures, and notorious mishaps, in the northern wastes of Newhon and beyond, Fafhrd, the giant barbarian warrior, and his companion, master-thief and expert swordsman, the Gray Mouser, return to Lankhmar, seeking the easy life.

But that great fog-shrouded city is being attacked by a two-headed dragon and a horde of strange invaders. Finally, in the last of their adventures, Fafhrd sails through the clouds and the Mouser goes to sea before we bid a final farewell to Lankhmar.

‘Fantasy Masterworks’ is a library of some of the greatest, most original, and most influential fantasy ever written. These are the books which, along with Tolkien, Peake and others, shaped modern fantasy.
