Within the ancient Temple of Isis, where God's word is law as interpreted by the Hierophants, unfold the mysteries and initiations of the priesthood, a tale of occult wisdom and spiritual awakening.

Belle M. Wagner's 1899 novel is an esoteric occult fantasy. Mystical, earnest, of its era. Read it for a distinctive artifact of turn-of-the-century occultism, a devotional romance of Egyptian temple mysteries, initiation, and Hermetic wisdom, steeped in the theosophical and Rosicrucian enthusiasms of its age, unlike anything else in print, as its publishers proudly claimed.
