Anti-hero Elric infiltrates a band of mercenaries to match wits with a powerful sorcerer. With her trio of dragons, Daenerys Stormbringer makes a fool’s bargain with slave traders.

Despite her drunkard’s ways, Malmury slays an old sea troll before facing his powerful daughter. Review: Great anthology - Not sure why so few reviews are here, so I'll add one for an solid anthology that includes a good sampling of authors over the past 100 years. As with all collections, not every story worked for me, but enough did for me to recommend it. A few highlights: Starts off appropriately with a Robert E. Howard story, "The Tower of the Elephant". "The Cave of Forgotten Dreams" by Michael Moorcock was an excellent adventure. My favorite story by far was Charles R. Saunders' "Gimmile's Song", probably because it is anti-cliche: a heroine instead of a hero; a faithful war-bull instead of a horse; and a African background instead of the traditional European perspective. This is my first exposure to this author despite that he has been around for quite awhile, and I was definitely impressed. "Soldier of an Empire Unacquainted with Defeat" by Glen Cook was a delightful read of almost novella length. "Become a Warrior" by Jane Yolen is a disturbing tale of the cold calculations a women bent on revenge is capable of. I found "The Sea Troll's Daughter" by Caitlin R. Kiernan to be more sexually restrained than some other stories I've read by this author, and I thought it made her story-telling better and more enjoyable. Finally, "The Path of the Dragon" by George R.R. Martin was suprisingly good. I know he is all the rage now, but I tried to read one of his books years ago and was unimpressed. I assumed he had been included to help sell the book, but was delighted to find that I actually enjoyed his prose.
