Alveric, a mortal man, armed with a sword forged through witchcraft, embarks on a quest to win the heart of Lirazel, the ethereal daughter of the Elfin King. As he journeys between the mundane world and magical lands, Alveric grapples with the allure of enchantment and the stark realities of human existence.
Dunsany's prose is richly poetic, weaving together themes of love, longing, and the bittersweet nature of dreams. The narrative unfolds with a sense of wonder and nostalgia, showcasing the profound connections between the realms of magic and reality.

PRAISE FOR LORD DUNSANY
“No amount of mere description can convey more than a fraction of Lord Dunsany's pervasive charm.”
— H. P. Lovecraft“We find that he has but transfigured with beauty the common sights of the world.”
— William Butler Yeats“...one of the greatest writers of this century,” a fantasy masterpiece about the aftermath of a marriage between a mortal prince and an elfin princess.”
— Arthur C. Clarke“...may well be the same as saying it could be the very best fairy story ever written.”
— Gahan Wilson“It's not simply the beauty of the language, the astute eye for character, the hint of humor, or even the spell of legendry and wonder, but Dunsany's unique combination of all of the above. Even read today, with all the fantasy novels I've read, his work remains fresh and exuberant.”
— Charles de Lint
