Swords and Deviltry, the first book of Leiber's landmark series, introduces us to a strange world where our two strangers find the familiar in themselves and discover the icy power of female magic. Three master-magician femme fatales and a sprightly lad illuminate the bonds between father and son, the relationship between the bravado of the imagination and the courage of fools.

"Aciago encuentro en Lankhmar", novela corta que cierra el volumen, mereció en 1970 los premios Hugo y Nebula, los más codiciados galardones que se conceden anualmente en los Estados Unidos dentro de la literatura fantástica.
