Las vidas de los aventureros mercenarios toman a veces rumbos extraños y peligrosos que les llevan a participar en guerras, les hacen competir con hechiceros intrigantes y les ponen en contacto con magas seductoras. Pero nadie podría haber predicho el camino que seguirían Fafhrd y el Ratonero Gris desde los callejones de Lankhmar hasta una fantástica aventura en las costas del Mar Interior de Nehwon y, finalmente, a través de una puerta invisible que les dio acceso a un mundo diferente. Nadie podría haber previsto las batallas desesperadas con criaturas que encarnan el mal, las amenazas de dioses odiosos a las que se enfrentan Fafhrd y el Ratonero Gris en su búsqueda del castillo llamado Niebla. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser take to the sea in the third installment of this seminal sword and sorcery series that "has lost none of its luminous magic" (San Francisco Chronicle). Swords in the Mist, book three in the Lankhmar series, thrusts our indentured, sword-swinging servants into the question of hate, its power, and its purpose. Times are lean in Lankhmar, illuminating the link between money and love. Luckily, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser don't always believe in love. When Lankhmar gets too gritty, our travelers take to their other, less harsh mistress, the sea. But the sea can play tricks on men, and so can the sea king. He can break a man, or worse yet, curse him. But when he is away, it's all play for the formidable swordsmen and the Triple Goddess . . . and two luscious sea queens. But luck may not always be there, as they discover on the way to see Ningauble, their wizard employer. After a long journey in defense of their control over their own fates, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser find themselves pawns in a life-and-death chess game, all of Lankhmar being the pieces. How many pawns will be left on the board before someone wins? Before The Lord of the Rings took the world by storm, Leiber's fantastic but thoroughly flawed antiheroes, Fafhrd and Gray Mouser, adventured deep within the caves of Inner Earth, albeit a different one. They wondered and wandered to the edges of the Outer Sea, across the Land of Nehwon and throughout every nook and cranny of gothic Lankhmar, Nehwon's grandest and most mystically corrupt city. Lankhmar is Leiber's fully realized, vivid incarnation of urban decay and civilization's corroding effect on the human psyche. Drawing on themes from Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and H. P. Lovecraft, master manipulator Fritz Leiber is a worldwide legend within the fantasy genre and actually coined the term Sword and Sorcery that describes the subgenre he helped create.
