In darkest, blackest despair, grieving over the loss of their first true loves, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser take to the high lonesome road in search of the solace of forgetfulness.

Sword & Sorcery's two greatest heroes journey across the wild world of Nehwon, haunted by the memory of their beloved Ivrian and Vlana, until their wanderings finally bring them to the very edge of the world...to a haunted plain...whose very dust echoes with dark necromancy- and the bloodcurdling cries of the lost, dead, and damned.

Only the herculean efforts of both Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser can possibly deliver them from the shrieking terror of "The Howling Tower".
