With her flowing red hair, her yellow eyes glinting like embers, and her face streaked with blood, Jirel is as fierce a warrior as any man, and courageous enough to face the devil himself. C.L. Moore's defining sword and sorcery tales, set in an alternate medieval France, were originally published in Weird Tales in the 1930s, making her one of the first women writing in the science fiction and fantasy genres. This omnibus collects five stories starring Moore's heroine: "Jirel Meets Magic"; "Black God's Kiss"; "Black God's Shadow"; "The Dark Land"; and "Hellsgarde."
