An enchanted ring, a man with an old face and a new name, and a sweep of Egyptian mystery drive a strange romance of love, sin, and the supernatural.

Julian Hawthorne's 1874 novel (by Nathaniel Hawthorne's son) is a dark, ornate romance steeped in fantasy and the occult. Atmospheric, brooding, of its era. Read it for an intricate Victorian tale of enchantment and passion from a writer working in his famous father's shadow.
