In a future society reorganized around a revived cult of the goddess Demeter, the young Neaera's vow and the demands of the new order collide, threatening love, freedom, and the social peace.

Ellison Harding's 1908 novel is a thoughtful utopian and social-SF romance. Provocative, idealistic, of its era. Read it for an intriguing Edwardian vision of a reordered civilization built on a neo-pagan goddess-cult, where questions of love, duty, and womanhood drive a story that blends utopian speculation with human drama.
