Viriconium: the Pastel City was the last bastion of the civilized world, where Queen Methvet Nian ruled supreme.
In Viriconium, the young men whistle to one another all night long as they go about their deadly games. If you wake suddenly, you might hear footsteps running, or an urgent sigh. After a minute or two, the whistles move away in the direction of the Tinmarket or the Margarethestrasse. The next day, some lordling is discovered in the gutter with his throat cut.
Who can tell fantasy from reality, magic from illusion, hero from villain, man from monster ... in Virconium?
This is complete collection of all Viriconium books, not to be confused with the 1988 collection of the same name, but only featuring 2 of the 4 books.
