Description

The Worm Ouroboros is a heroic high fantasy novel by Eric Rücker Eddison, first published in 1922. Set in a fantastical version of Mercury, where the powerful lords of Demonland - brothers Juss, Spitfire, and Goldry Bluszco, along with their cousin Brandoch Daha - face off against the menacing forces of Witchland, led by the dark sorcerer King Gorice. The story begins with a challenge that escalates into a struggle for survival, as Goldry Bluszco is banished to a distant, enchanted prison. The Demons, joined by their allies, embark on a perilous journey to rescue him, encountering mythical creatures, treacherous landscapes, and formidable enemies along the way. As battles rage between the armies of Demonland and Witchland, the heroes must navigate both external threats and internal conflicts. The novel is a rich tapestry of adventure, filled with vivid landscapes, heroic feats, and a deep exploration of the consequences of power and ambition. However, victory is not without its costs, and the heroes find themselves grappling with the haunting realization that their greatest enemies may have been themselves.
