Mightier than the Sword and Other Stories

From the bloody-handed to the pure of heart, from those who succeed without trying to those who strive against the very thing that makes them who they are, 'Mightier Than the Sword and Other Stories' collects eight dark fantasy tales where the unexpected collides with the traditional. Lovers of sword & sorcery and heroic fantasy will find action aplenty and weird perils of the darkest kind, from an assassin's hellblade to an undead bureaucrat, a monstrous Wolf-God to a wild-magic quill. Adventure and dark fantasy awaits.

Includes the Shan & Bao adventure 'Race to Dragonhead Rock.'

On 'The Wolf of Winter:'

"Bill Ward delivers the grim and gritty goods once again in this anthology, just as he did in The Return of the Sword, with “The Wolf of Winter.” Ward’s red-handed protagonist, Krhanik Black Heart, is akin to London’s Tostig Lodbrog and Howard’s Asgrimm, only even more ruthless and writ larger. One of the best stories in this collection." --Deuce Richardson, The Cimmerian

"Bill Ward writes a tale in “Wolf in Winter” where the monster the protagonist faces is as much himself as it is a physical being. Ward’s story of death, renewal, and the beast inside each person is one of the best of the anthology, and turns an apparent sword and sorcery tale into something quite a bit deeper. Worthy reading."--John Ottinger, Grasping for the Wind
