With heavy hearts and ready swords, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser journey from the ancient city of Lankhmar, searching for adventure and seeking forgetfulness from the pain of lost love. When a stranger challenges them to find and fight Death on the Bleak Shore, they risk the dangers of the underworld, demonic birds, skeletal armies, living mountains, and evil monks on the way to meet their heroic fate.
