Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Well at the World's End was among the very first of its kind--it is an epic romance of duplicity, machination, passion, and wizardry, and is, in short, a vast odyssey into the weird. It is a beautifully rich fantasy, a vibrant fairy tale without fairies. It is the most entrancing of William Morris's late romances--part futuristic fantasy novel, part old-fashioned fairy tale. Morris writes his magic love story with a sense of color and pattern, and the sheer imaginative fervor of one of the most brilliant decorative artists that has ever lived.

After further adventures, Ralph takes refuge in the House of Abundance, a keep ruled, he hears, by the fair Lady of Abundance. Riding away, Ralph encounters two knights fighting over the Lady of the Wildwood. He battles the Knight of the Sun and is overpowered, but his life is spared at the request of the Lady. As the knight sleeps, the Lady draws Ralph away, tells him she is the Lady of Abundance, and gives herself to him. They live briefly in bliss, but the Knight of the Sun appears, slays her, and is in turn killed by Ralph. Ralph continues his quest.
