A mythic afterlife opens onto a world of gods, conflict, and altered destiny.
Opening E. R. Eddison’s Zimiamvian trilogy, Mistress of Mistresses moves Edward Lessingham beyond death and through the legendary Gates of Zimiamvia. Promised renewed life among gods by Aphrodite in exchange for future service, he enters a realm where earthly measures of time no longer apply: a single day can contain a lifetime. The novel frames its otherworldly setting through mythic stakes—love, battle, enchantment, political guile, and adversaries—and places Lessingham’s fate under active negotiation rather than treating death as an endpoint. It also continues the larger imaginative world associated with The Worm Ouroboros.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers interested in classic epic fantasy and foundational fantasy worlds
- Fans of myth-inflected tales of gods, afterlives, and destiny
- Readers who want to continue from The Worm Ouroboros into Eddison’s Zimiamvian setting

The first volume in the classic epic trilogy of parallel worlds, admired by Tolkien and the great prototype for The Lord of the Rings and modern fantasy fiction.
According to legend, the Gates of Zimiamvia lead to a land 'that no mortal foot may tread, but that souls of the dead that were great upon earth do inhabit.' Here they forever live, love, do battle, and even die again.
Edward Lessingham - artist, poet, king of men and lover of women - is dead. But from Aphrodite herself, the Mistress of Mistresses, he has earned the promise to live again with the gods in Zimiamvia in return for her own perilous future favours.
This sequel to The Worm Ouroboros recounts the story of Lessingham's first day in this strange Valhalla, where a lifetime is a day and where - among enemies, enchantments, guile and triumph - his destiny can be rewritten.
