Mighty barbarian warrior Loth the Unworthy seeks redemption for past sins in the vile city of Mordale, a crossroads of thieves and sorcerers. But when a feud between warring magic wielders ensnares him, Loth must descend into shadowy dungeons and ancient ruins beneath the city on a dangerous quest. Beset by demonic foes, lethal traps, and sinister betrayals, Loth forges uneasy alliances with grizzled mercenaries and stealthy assassins. But the lure of long-buried secrets and glittering treasure threatens to awaken pride and ambition better left forgotten. To save Mordale and reclaim lost honor, Loth must withstand mortal and supernatural threats. His wits, sinews, and steel will be tested to their limits. Can the barbarian champion banish the evil that grips this accursed city, or will the shadows of his own dark past ultimately consume him? Shadows of Gold captures the thrilling action, brooding tone, and mythic grandeur that have made Robert E. Howard's groundbreaking fantasy stories timeless classics. This exhilarating tale will immerse readers in a vivid world of larger-than-life heroes, devious sorcerers, ancient evils, and high adventure.

Shadow Dreams Nightmare features Jim LeMay's Shadow Jack, Richard Friesen's The Tower of Dreams, Wayne Faust and Charles Eugene Anderson's Europa Nightmare. Four Colorado writers produced this collection of three epic stories. They all had the great fortune to work closely with the late Nebula Award-winning author and Horror Grandmaster Edward Bryant. That felt much like serving under a compassionate Medieval Guild-master. They feel honored for the opportunity to learn as his apprentice writers and sorely miss their mentor and friend. All three stories are a fine mixture of storytelling that brings different types of speculative fiction together into one gigantic book. It will keep readers delighted for many hours of enjoyment.
