Book description
Earthy, hot-tempered Captain Stag followed a simple man's quest;
Tabnath Lo the trader was driven by obsessions; the enigmatic augurs
Castegor and Gortecas manuervered toward secret ends; and around them
all the Sixlimbed Folk massed in hatred and plotted barbaric vengeance...
“A world of living legend peopled by centaurs, golems, harpies, and
primitive but shrewd humans...I was completely caught up in the
saga.”
Fritz Leiber
