"Kane had seen many sword-masters brought low by the fortunate stroke of some artisan at a critical moment." - Karl Edward Wagner

The cycle includes 3 novel parts and 2 collections of short stories, good old "Heroic Fantasy," although the hero is not exactly noble and righteous.

For me personally, he's like Conan's brother, but molded from a different clay. A clay that is immortal, full of secrets and darkness.

Most of Kane's adventures are characterized by self-interest and ruthlessness, yet in some strange way, we root for him in what he does.

So if you're a fan of "Conan" and haven't yet ventured into Kane's world, don't hesitate too long.

Now let's see how this dark artisan of his own destiny fares in the eyes of other readers from lubimyczytac.pl:

“

One of the darkest fantasy heroes. Cynical, merciless, vengeful, immortal, yet just...

The end of the world, ancient, outstanding civilizations, love - all in proper proportions. This book should be more popular ;)

This was my first encounter with K.E. Wagner's work, and I will definitely be reaching for more titles.

How to clean a mattress? Home remedies for stains, dust mites and unpleasant odours

A mattress sees more than any other piece of furniture in the house — sweat from night sweats, morning coffee drunk in bed, cat hair from a cat who stubbornly chooses the same spot for a nap.
