"The Worm Ouroboros: A Romance" by Eric Rücker Eddison is a novel written in the early 20th century. This fantasy epic intertwines elements of myth and adventure, taking place in a fictional world inhabited by Demons, Witches, and other fantastical beings. The narrative begins to unfold the story of a man named Lessingham, who enters a magical realm known as Mercury, setting the stage for an intricate tale involving powerful characters like Lord Juss, Goldry Bluszco, and King Gorice as they navigate themes of power and conflict. At the start of the story, Lessingham resides in a picturesque home surrounded by nature before he is mysteriously whisked away on a thrilling adventure. Initially, he encounters the enchanting little martlet, who guides him into the realm of Mercury, where Demons rule. The scene transitions to a celebration at Lord Juss’s castle, where the Demons eagerly anticipate festivities surrounding their lord's birthday but are interrupted by the arrival of an Ambassador from Witchland. The tension escalates quickly with unexpected challenges posed by King Gorice from Witchland, leading to the first hints of conflict over power and honor that are central to the unfolding narrative and setting the tone for the epic struggle to come.
