Dilvish, the Damned
''Dilvish, the Damned'' is a collection of fantasy stories by American writer Roger Zelazny, first published in 1982. Its contents were originally published as a series of separate short stories in various fantasy magazines. Prior to publication, Zelazny's working title for the book was ''Nine Black Doves''.〔Carter, Lin. ''Imaginary Worlds: the Art of Fantasy'', New York, Ballantine Books, 1973, p. 154.〕 The working title was later re-used for the fifth volume of ''(The Collected Short Stories of Roger Zelazny )'' collection, as a tribute to Dilvish.〔http://www.nesfa.org/press/Books/Zelazny-5.html〕 The storyline begun in this collection was resolved in the novel ''The Changing Land'', which was published before the other ''Dilvish'' stories appeared in book form.
==Plot summary==
Dilvish is the descendant of both elves and humans, a scion of a prominent Elven house and "the Human House that hath been stricken" which lost its peerage for mixing Elven and Human blood. Hundreds of years before the main story, he comes across a dark ritual being performed by the sorcerer Jelerak who is sacrificing a human girl. He attempts to stop the ritual but is turned into stone, with his soul banished to Hell. His body became a statue, and for many decades it resided within the square of a nearby town that he had formerly saved from enemy conquerors. When this town is again in need of a hero, their citizens' plight allows Dilvish the passage he needed to escape from Hell. He returns to the world of the living with his steed, the metal demon horse Black, and a burning desire for revenge against Jelerak, but must first repulse the assault against the endangered town. Dilvish then goes to call upon the Shoredan - a cursed people bound to his family. He searches for Jelerak in the Tower of Ice and finds the sorcerer's apprentice and his sister trapped there. The two of them believe him to be a servant of Jelerak sent to kill them.
