Would-be author of romance Gerald Musgrave, southern gentleman and member of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States of America, is fated one day to meet with a Sylan and exchange his body with that of the devil in order to dedicate himself to a life in pursuit of the thaumaturgical arts. Inadvertently Gerald begins a journey on a path to godhood to reign in the eternal kingdom of Antan over all old gods and myths of legend astride the mighty silver steed Kalki. Will Gerald achieve this lofty goal he sets out to accomplish or will be be waylaid by the wiles of a pretty face or the contentment of a life well led? James Branch Cabell, author of the notorious Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice, brings to us another bawdy and bizarre fantastical comedy of gods and men sure to amuse as much as confound! (Summary by Ben Tucker)
