'Volume One: Shadow And Claw', contains the first two volumes of the four volume 'The Book Of The New Sun' series - 'Volume One: The Shadow Of The Torturer' and 'Volume Two: The Claw Of The Conciliator'.
Recently voted the greatest fantasy of all time, after 'The Lord Of The Rings' and 'The Hobbit', this is an extraordinary epic, set a million years in the future, on an Earth transformed in mysterious and wondrous ways, in a time when our present culture is no longer even a memory. Severian, the central character, is a torturer, exiled from his guild after falling in love with one of his victims, and journeying to the distant city of Thrax, armed with his ancient executioner's sword, Terminus Est.
Winner of World Fantasy Award and Nebula Award.
