First published in the pages of Weird Tales in 1934, C. L. Moore's Jirel of Joiry is the first significant female sword-and-sorcery protagonist and one of the most exciting and evocative characters the genre has ever known. Published alongside seminal works by H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, the five classic fantasy tales included in this volume easily stand the test of time and often overshadow the storytelling power and emotional impact of stories by Moore's more famous contemporaries.

For Jonah Angelese, a paralegal at the Ministry of Law and Justice, the most difficult thing is making it to work on time when he wakes up on a Saturday. And somebody decided to saddle him with a robot called a Lifebot that he doesn’t want in his life. Yet, an ordinary day quickly turns exceptional when a dark force that everyone forgot existed long ago decides it’s time to get their revenge. Jonah suddenly finds himself thrust into an adventure that will not only test him and the companions he meets along the way, but also reveal his true destiny.

Castle Joiry had been taken. The heavy boots of invaders rang in the hallways, and the arching ceiling echoed back the clash of falling swords. Still struggling violently, Joiry's commander was brought before the conqueror. Standing tall, armor running red with blood, Jirel of Joiry refused to surrender her home and vowed to her enemy that his victory would cost him his life, and more. That very night, Joiry's lady crept by secret ways to the castle's deepest dungeon.
