Lucius, a curious young man, dabbles in forbidden magic, longing to witness a witch's transformation ritual. But a bungle turns him into a donkey! Trapped in a beast's body, Lucius navigates a hilarious and perilous world. Lucius's transformation and his experiences as a donkey provide a hilarious lens for social commentary, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking. From a shocking new perspective, he witnesses human folly - thievery, debauchery, and the dark secrets hidden beneath society's veneer. Will Lucius ever regain his human form? Can he survive the dangers that come with being prey, not predator? As he journeys through vibrant marketplaces, encounters sly gods, and even chats with a talking parrot, Lucius uncovers profound truths about love, fate, and the power of laughter in the face of absurdity.
