On his 16th birthday, churlish Drake Douay finds himself exiled from his
homeland amid a treacherous crew of pirates on the open sea. Through battles
with sea monsters, mysterious cults, weird technology of a bygone age, and the
warring gangs of two pirate lords, Drake explores a world of dark fantasy and
betrayal with his keen wit and a sharp sword — his only protection from an
early death!
Never before published in a North American edition, The Walrus & The
Warwolf is the most popular of Hugh Cook's 10-volume Chronicles of an Age
of Darkness series, which blends fierce sword & sorcery action with
vivid world-building to create a modern classic of fantasy.
Author China Miéville (Perdido St. Station, The Scar)
provides an insightful, amusing introduction to Cook's unforgettable
book.
