Swords and Deviltry -- Fritz Leiber

<b>The award-winning sword and sorcery classic that introduced Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, from a Grand Master of Science Fiction and Fantasy. </b> <p/> First in the influential fan-favorite series, <i>Swords and Deviltry</i> collects four fantastical adventure stories from Fritz Leiber, the author who coined the phrase "sword and sorcery" and helped birth an entire genre. <p/> In "Induction," in the realm of Nehwon, fate brings young prince Fafhrd and apprentice magician the Gray Mouser together to mark the beginning of a loyal and lifelong friendship. Consumed by his wicked mother's enchantments, Fafhrd finds freedom by pursuing the love of a beautiful actress in the Nebula and Hugo Award-nominated "The Snow Women." Studying sorcery under a great wizard in a land where it is forbidden, Mouse crosses the thin line between white and black magic to avenge a great wrong in "The Unholy Grail." And in the Nebula and Hugo Award-winning novella "Ill Met in Lankhmar," Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser disguise themselves as beggars to infiltrate the Thieves' Guild--only to pay a horrible price for their greed when they come face-to-face with a monstrous evil. <p/><br><br><b>Author:</b> Fritz Leiber<br><b>Publisher:</b> Open Road Media Science & Fantasy<br><b>Published:</b> 10/07/2014<br><b>Pages:</b> 160<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.45lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.40d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781497699922<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Fritz Leiber is considered
