This novel is about the destiny of one man, the fate of those around him and also that of millions beyond. There are times in history when the most spiritual individual on Earth, the Axis of the Age or the Anointed, as he or she is called, has to sacrifice himself in order to avert a defeat in the great battle between Good and Evil. The setting here is the Spain of 1492 when the Inquisition sought to eliminate the leader of an esoteric group of Christians, Jews and Muslims.
Don Immanuel is the pivot of the story in which those close to him-family, friends and foes-play out rôles in an archetypal situation. The symbolism enhances the drama of Don Immanuel’s beautiful daughter Rachel’s episode of passion and the crises and initiations confronting other people involved in the event. This inner dimension gives insight into what lies behind ordinary life and a wider perspective on history.
