Theos Alwyn, a brilliant but faithless English poet, seeks out a mystic monastery in the Caucasus in search of certainty. In a field near Babylon he falls into a trance and wakes in the ancient city of Al-Kyris, where he lives as the man he was in a former life, and meets the angelic Ardath who has waited for his soul.
Corelli at her most visionary, a lush religious romance of reincarnation that thrilled late Victorian readers. Download the free EPUB.
