About the Book
Illustrated by Stephen Fabian. A substantially different version of this novel was serialized in Fantastic Stories, 1980.
Darrell Schweitzer's first novel is a powerful tale of Prince Evnos of Iankoros, who seeks to reclaim his bride from the God of Death. Rich with strange sorceries, grim mythologies, and hostile gods, this is a tale of heroism and horror, seeming triumph and subsequent tragedy, and strange turns of fate which none of the characters could possible foresee.
It is a modern classic reminiscent of E. R. Eddison, Clark Ashton Smith and Lord Dunsany... and yet uniquely the author's own.
