Description

A modern-day cynic, disfigured by a devastating car accident, finds his world irrevocably altered as he recovers in a burn ward, contemplating a planned suicide. His despair is interrupted by the arrival of Marianne Engel, a mysterious sculptress of gargoyles, who claims they shared a passionate past as lovers in medieval Germany. As she weaves a tale of ancient sorcery and enduring love, he is drawn into a dark, epic narrative that blurs the lines between reality, myth, and obsession. This novel explores themes of identity, redemption, and the enduring power of love across centuries, all rendered in Davidson's signature gothic and evocative prose.
