About this book
A unique work of 20th Century prose following the epic power struggle and conflict between two peoples, the Demons and the Witches.
Pre-dating the much better known works of Tolkein, it involves quests and battles on land and sea, heroic acts and deceits, love, lust and infidelity; all in settings so lavishly and extravagantly described as to stretch even the most vivid imagination.

Although this work has been described as 'flawed' by many critics, because of a few minor glitches, if read with an open mind, and heart, it will transport the reader to realms of delight of a kind few authors are able to engender in these modern, almost monosyllabic times.
To try it is most adviseable, to ignore it is to miss out on a rare treat.
