The award-winning sword and sorcery classic that introduced Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, from a Grand Master of Science Fiction and Fantasy.

First in the influential fan-favorite series, Swords and Deviltry collects four fantastical adventure stories from Fritz Leiber, the author who coined the phrase â sword and sorceryâ and helped birth an entire genre.

In â Induction,â 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 motherâ s enchantments, Fafhrd finds freedom by pursuing the love of a beautiful actress in the Nebula and Hugo Awardâ nominated â The Snow Women.â 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 â The Unholy Grail.â And in the Nebula and Hugo Awardâ winning novella â Ill Met in Lankhmar,â Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser disguise themselves as beggars to infiltrate the Thievesâ Guildâ only to pay a horrible price for their greed when they come face-to-face with a monstrous evil.
