'Half hypnotized by the moon, I let my mind range beyond time to the beginning. I saw the vast sea of infinite space, indigo-dark in the Night of the Gods; and it seemed to me that in the darkness and silence must be the seed of all being.'

Dion Fortune's fourth novel, often regarded as her most important work of fiction.

'Wilfred Maxwell, a man living with his mother and sister, learns to commune with the Moon after an asthma attack. He meets with Le Fay Morgan, a spiritual adept, and together they enter an obsessive but platonic relationship while establishing a temple to the sea gods.'
(Richardson, A, 2007)
