Spanning three continents and the ten years leading up to the close of the nineteenth century, The Serpents Veil follows the personal journeys of Constance Stubbington and Ank Maguire who grapple with what haunts them: the impact of colonialism, the death of family members, and the intuitive gifts that shape them. Constance, a bold woman who severs her fathers rigid ideas with a sharp tongue, is thrown from a horse and wakes in hospital in England, where. staff are tight-lipped about her fathers whereabouts and the medical implications of her accident. It is here she meets Ank Maguire and the two discover they share a connection with the spiritual world, an intuition that is both a gift and a curse. Through flashbacks, dreams, and up-to-the minute storytelling we travel from the bogs of Ireland to the streets of Victoria, BC, through India during the Raj to the grimy world of Londons Southwark district. The Serpents Veil is a spellbinding tale of action and mystery where mystical revelations dominate and consciousness is transformed, but above all, spirit lives.
