In exchange for sharing the throne, Kothar the Magnificent Barbarian is challenged by the Demon Queen to return the mysterious god Xixthur--source of eternal youth--from the clutches of the thieving Tor Domnus in the city of Urgal.

This is Gardner F. Fox's third classic Sword & Sorcery story for paperbacks. There are 5 books in this series. Mr. Fox's was heavily inspired by Robert E. Howard's Sword & Sorcery stories: Conan, Kull & Bran Mak Mor. The Kothar books are listed in Gary Gygax's Appendix N as one of the few books that inspired the creation of Dungeons & Dragons. SHE STALKS IN BEAUTY As a boy, Kothar had been cast upon the desolate shores of Grondel Bay. Since that time, he had grown to lusty manhood, to become the greatest Swordsman in the World. He had well earned the name of Magnificent Barbarian. Nothing daunted him, not demons, not sorcerers, nothing Creeping or Crawling or flying; even the cunning White Worm had been slashed by his magic blade, the enchanted Frostfire. Yet now Kothar was challenged by the Demon-Queen, a beautiful she-devil of limitless cunning and unspeakable passions. For the Mighty Swordsman, it was his greatest trial.
