A Novella collection.
Rhialto the Marvellous - contains three linked novellas about the adventures of the wizard Rhialto across the decadent landscape of the Dying Earth, under its swollen red sun.
In the age of The Dying Earth, our moribund planet’s greatest magicians conspire with and against each other, playing cruel tricks and conniving to steal their rivals’ miraculous treasures. Prominent amongst them is Rhialto the Marvellous, who struggles to bring order – even some justice – to this squabbling gaggle of eccentrics and egotists. His efforts will take him back through time, and outwards to the farthest reaches of space – to the place where the mysterious and powerful IOUN stones wait to be gathered, by those who dare.
