Avram Davidson's final Vergil Magus novel, The Scarlet Fig, continues the adventures of the wandering mage through an alternate ancient world filled with exotic landscapes, populated by creatures of myth and legend.
Filled with Davidson's sparkling wit, arcane erudition, and vivid imagination, The Scarlet Fig is the capstone to Davidson's acclaimed sequence of novels (The Phoenix and the Mirror and Vergil in Averno), short stories (including "Vergil and the Dukos: Hic Inclusus Vitam Perdit, or The Imitations of the King"), and The Notebooks of Vergil Magus.
The manuscript has been edited by Grania Davis and Henry Wessells and this first edition will include afterwords by the editors, an appendix including facsimiles of cards from the Encyclopaedia of Vergil Magus that Avram Davidson compiled during the three decades he worked on the Vergil cycle, and more.
