At first he did not understand what he saw: a round gleaming, colour-running orb stared unwinkingly back into his face. It was an eye. An immense sad eye staring at him through the chink of the curtains, an eye surrounded by a living whorl of flame that he had last seen engulfing poor Barney in the parking lot.

At least three others had disappeared into the strange world from which those aliens had come, and a girl had been driven insane by them. And before Crane’s quest to unravel the secret of the Map Country was complete, the fate of two worlds would hang in the balance.

The enchanted land of Nevèrÿon is the most fascinating fantasy empire ever mapped by a modern word-enchanter – a realm of nameless terror and sensuous delights beyond the feeble imaginings of mortal men and women.
