Popular Victorian-era writer Marie Corelli does it again in this epic romance imbued with supernatural and gothic themes. A companion piece of sorts to Corelli's first novel, A Romance of Two Worlds, Ardath follows the life of young poet Theos Alwyn, whose encounter with a mysterious monk propels him into a spiritual quest that transcends space and time.
