Published in 1922, The Worm Ouroboros is an epic high fantasy novel that inspired J.R.R. Tolkien through its expansive world building and old Norse mythic inspirations. In fact, Tolkien once said of Eddison, “[he] is the most convincing writer of invented worlds that I have read.”

The story concerns the heroic Lords of Demonland as they fight against the tyrannical Witches of Witchland on an imagined society on Mercury. After the Witch-King captures the hero of Demonland on a remote mountain peek, the Demons embark on a daring rescue mission.
