Lords of Swords is one of the most exciting collections of new adventure fantasy to appear in a very long time. This thick volume is packed with fiction from the genre’s rising stars — including Howard Andrew Jones, E. E. Knight, and John C. Hocking — as well as names synonymous with Heroic Fantasy, such Tanith Lee, Nancy Virginia Varian, Vera Nazarian, and many others. Here’s what Todd McAulty said about Lords of Swords:

Excellent. . .a handsomely produced volume of heroic fantasy. Almost every piece is strong, and a few are a good deal more than that. The real payoff comes from three long pieces by three very different writers, any one of which could stand alongside the work of the masters. . .If you’re a Black Gate reader, you will be excited to find a book that introduces you to some of the finest new practitioners of adventure fantasy. Lords of Swords is that book.

Quantities of this terrific book are unfortunately very short, and limited to what we have on hand — so act now! [Already a subscriber? We’ll send you a copy for the same low price of $4.95, plus shipping! Just follow the link to our subscription page.]
