This is Gardner F Fox's fifth 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 THE DEATH OF MAGIC Someone—or something—was systematically killing all the world's magicians. Kothar, the blond barbarian, had to link up with his enemy, the she-devil temptress Red Lori, to find and vanquish the slayer. Beautiful Lori was his partner but Kothar's best friend was still his magic sword Frostfire. Wizard's Revenge . . .

Blunt fingers closed around the squirming, screaming necromancer. "Dread Omorphon! Awful being of the nether hells—aid me! He tried to fight it, but his hands could do nothing against the solid rock out of which that other hand was formed. The fingers tightened, and now the magician began to swell curiously at chest and legs, as if other parts of his body were being forced into them by that frightful grip. His face became purple with congested blood. His eyes bulged hideously. A trickle of blood ran from his open mouth.
