Wenches and warriors
Spells and spears
Come if you dare
to the land where sorcerers cast sinister spells from subterranean lairs, where spirits stalk through crumbling ruins and primeval monsters crash through jungle thickets. Come to the land where the fate of kingdoms is balanced on the bloody blades of swords brandished by heroes of might and valor, where might fights magic and spears clash with spells.

Seven masterful tales of adventure and sorcery - stories of strange doom, barbaric battles and superhuman heroes!
