Like Tolkien's Middle-Earth, Zimiamvia is a world which mirrors our own - but passions run stronger there, and life, love and treachery are epic in their intensity. And magic, of course, is a reality. Mezentius had ruled the Three Kingdoms with a firm hand, but his legitimate heir is a weakling, frightened of the power of his half-brother, Duke Barganax, and of that of the terrifying Horius Parry, Vicar of Rerek. As Parry and Barganax manoeuvre, intrigue and plot, it is clear that the new king isn't long for the world. The key to the control of the Three Kingdoms lies with Lessingham, Parry's cousin, the only man both sides can trust. But then Parry decides that Lessingham must die. As heroes and villains clash, an even darker game is being played - for the Lady Fiorinda is testing her own powers to decide the fates of men. First book in the Zimiamvian trilogy. Mass market paperback; no stated publishing history so presumed first edition, first printing thus. Publisher book number U7063, cover price $0.95. This is a used book. Pages are clean and bright with no markings, notes, or highlighting. Since this book is from 1967, there is some age browning on inside covers and top and bottom of text block which does not affect readability. Also paper is a bit crumbly in places. Covers show shelf wear and show small stress creases. Handwritten name on inside front cover, handwriting in top margin of page 5, not ex-library. Binding is tight and square. Hinges are secure. Price sticker on rear cover. Corners are bumped.

The first volume in the classic epic trilogy of parallel worlds, admired by Tolkien and the great prototype for The Lord of the Rings and modern fantasy fiction. According to legend, the Gates of Zimiamvia lead to a land 'that no mortal foot may tread, but that souls of the dead that were great upon earth do inhabit.' Here they forever live, love, do battle, and even die again. Edward Lessingham - artist, poet, king of men and lover of women - is dead. But from Aphrodite herself, the Mistress of Mistresses, he has earned the promise to live again with the gods in Zimiamvia in return for her own perilous future favours. This sequel to The Worm Ouroboros recounts the story of Lessingham's first day in this strange Valhalla, where a lifetime is a day and where - among enemies, enchantments, guile and triumph - his destiny can be rewritten.

401 pages. May require extra postage. Size: Mass Market Paperback
