'Envious Gods is the story of the roguish Nicholas Rakehell - actor, playwright, bon vivant - who inhabits a strange world of gods and magic. He uses a run-down theatrical troupe to impersonate a god, but finds himself way over his head in a battle of good and evil played out on a divine scale.
Aided by a riotous cast that includes a manic-depressive puppeteer, a lascivious priestess, two egocentric matinee idols, a handful of inbred acrobats, any number of fatuous self-important wizards, scores of demented demons and of course one or two envious gods, Rakehell embarks on an adventure of high fantasy, high comedy and higher danger.'
