Dilvish
Roger Zelazny · 1 novel · 1 novella · 2 novelettes · 8 short stories · 1 collection · 1965–1982
Centuries ago, the half-elf warrior Dilvish tried to stop a dark sorcerer named Jelerak from completing a terrible ritual, and paid for it by being turned to stone and having his soul cast into Hell. Roger Zelazny's Dilvish the Damned stories bring him back when the people he once protected need him again, reuniting him with his strange metal steed Black for a string of sword-and-sorcery adventures built around his long-delayed vengeance against Jelerak. The tales run as short, episodic quests rather than one continuous plot.
