The Changing Land picks up shortly after the events chronicled in Zelany's Dilvish, the Damned. Dilvish the half-elf must gain entry to Castle Timeless if he is to destroy his nemeses who resides there, the sorcerer Jelerak. Unbeknownst to Dilvish, Jelerak's apprentice Ridley has blocked the sorcerer out while attempting to learn the castle's secrets and become the new lord of Castle Timeless. The castle is protected by a lethal, chaotic, ever-changing land. In a race against time and reality itself, both Dilvish and Jelerak must survive the maze-like changing lands and then somehow survive whatever traps await them, and perhaps even the elder gods themselves may intervene, if the whim strikes them. A breath taking grand adventure!
