The hilarious, bawdy and touching story of a good man who loved too well and dared challenge the absolute power of the Sun King himself.

Escaping from the slave pens of a Dark Knight mining camp was no easy feat, but what awaits Direfang, a former hobgoblin slave who has become the reluctant general of a growing goblin army is every bit as perilous. From the cruel ogre mountains to the shores of Newsea, Direfang, Mudwort the shaman, and the Dark Knight wizard Grallik fight the natural and unnatural forces that seek to destroy them. Direfang is tested to his limits by once-friends and powerful foes as he undertakes a death march to the Qualinesti Forest. His eyes on independence, Direfang refuses to surrender, and pledges his life for a chance to be free.

Since its publication in 1957, it has sold millions of copies and has been adapted into a Broadway play, a film, a TV series, and now an audiobook.

Although they are far from the Dark Knights' mining camp they escaped from, they are also far from safe.

But Direfang is resolute and will risk all their lives in a final bid for freedom.

Quand le commandant Corso est chargé d'enquêter sur une série de meurtres de strip-teaseuses, il pense avoir affaire à une traque criminelle classique. Il a tort : c'est d'un duel qu'il s'agit. Un combat à mort avec son principal suspect, Philippe Sobieski, peintre, débauché, assassin. Mais ce duel est bien plus encore : une plongée dans les méandres du porno, du bondage et de la perversité sous toutes ses formes. Un vertige noir dans lequel Corso se perdra lui-même, apprenant à ses dépens qu'un assassin peut en cacher un autre, et que la réalité d'un flic peut totalement basculer, surtout quand il s'agit de la jouissance par le Mal.
