Rhialto the Marvellous occupies the personal and political conflicts among a conclave of two dozen magicians of Ascolais and Almery in the 21st Aeon. The shocking appearance of the Llorio the Murtha, a robust female make from an earlier aeon threatens to unbalance nature by ensqualming or feminizing the magicians. This sets off a tremendous have difficulty for electricity and the other mages change against Rhialto. Hoping to reestablish his rightful place, Rhialto travels to other aeons to restore the missing Perciplex which projects the Mostrament, the constitution of the relationship. In his last excursion, Rhialto must, eventually, travel to the very ends of time and space to confront an old adversary whom he previously wronged and must commit further misdeeds to restore order. Out of the welter of spectacular politics, beliefs systems, personal eccentricity, and magic, the figure of Rhialto slowly comes into emphasis and assumes dimension. He is a vain, seemingly superficial man, not ashamed to show his melancholy to improve his reputation. But he is courteous, patient, and subtle, even kind. He is self-aware and introspective as Cugel never could be?the wisest and most sympathetic of all of Vances wizards.
