Teregrin Launches on MT

Shaenon K. Garrity — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 18:55:32 +0000

Today Ed Quinby’s Teregrin starts on Modern Tales. This lighthearted adventure series follows Teregrin, a wandering rogue living just a little after the fall of the Roman Empire. If you like classic fantasy fiction like Fritz Leiber’s Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories (and I do), you’ll appreciate Teregrin.
