Award-winning author Philip Murdstone is in trouble.
The Murdstone Trilogy is a richly black comedy from an author described by one American critic as „the best writer you\'ve probably never heard of“..
But the deal he makes with Pocket Wellfair turns out to have Faustian consequences.
In a dark hour, a dwarfish stranger comes to his rescue.
Unfortunately, Philip - allergic to the faintest trace of Tolkien - is utterly unsuited to the task.
His agent, the beautiful and ruthless Minerva Cinch, convinces him that his only hope is to write a sword-and-sorcery blockbuster.
The world is leaving him behind.
His star has waned.
