From a Victorian Ireland of magic, poetry and rebellion, Ida Jameson, an amateur occultist, reaches out for power, but captures Laura Armstrong, a modern-day graphic artist instead. Now, for the man or demon she loves, each woman must span a bridge through Hell and across history . . . or destroy it. โEvery passionate man is linked with another age, historical or imaginary, where alone he finds images that rouse his energy.โ W. B. Yeats Anchored in fact on both sides of history, Laura and Ida, modern rationalist and fin de siรจcle occultist, are linked from the moment Ida channels Laura into the body of celebrated beauty and Irish freedom-fighter Maud Gonne. When Laura fallsโfrom an ocean and a hundred years awayโpassionately, Victorianly in love with the young poet W. B. Yeats, their love affair entwines with Irish history and weaves through Yeatsโs poetry until Ida discovers something she wants more than magic in the subterranean spaces in between. With her Irish past threatening her orderly present and the man she loves in it, Laura and Yeatsโthe practical materialist and the poet magusโmust find a way to make love last over time, in changing bodies, through modern damnation, and into the mythic past to link their pilgrim souls . . . or lose them forever.
