About the book: 2014 / All ten stories take place in the world of Glen Cook's famous cycle about the "Empire of Terror". This oppressive state is invisible but omnipresent. In the gloomy Empire, everything depends on the whims of the rulers, stories rarely end with a happy ending, and funny episodes smack of gallows humor. For fans of the works of Fritz Leiber and Steven Erikson, this book will bring true pleasure. For the first time in Russian!
