New epic fantasy in the grand tradition--including a never-before-published Song of Ice and Fire story by George R.
Martin Fantasy fiction has produced some of the most unforgettable heroes ever conjured onto the page: Robert E.
Howard's Conan the Barbarian, Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone, Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser.

Now, in The Book of Swords, acclaimed editor and bestselling author Gardner Dozois presents an all-new anthology of original epic tales by a stellar cast of award-winning modern masters--many of them set in their authors' best-loved worlds.
