E.R. Eddison 
Worm Ouroboros 

The book that set the stage for Tolkien’s 'The Lord of the Rings’, 'The Worm Ouroboros’ tells a sweeping tale of political – and mystical – battles between heroic warriors, witches on crooked mountaintops and the ocean’s darkest depths. Interlaced with brewing romances and devilish trickery, The Lords of Demonland go head-to-head with the Lords of Witchland in one epic fantasy. Crafted with expert language, Eddison provides a reading experience like no other. 'The Worm Ouroboros’ is ideal for fantasy fans of 'The Lord of the Rings’ and 'The Hobbit’.-
