New York: William Morrow and Company, 1983. Book Club. Hardcover. Good/Fair. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. jacket is present in pieces. edge wear to jacket and boards; In a masterful blending of myth and reality, the eternal conflict between good and evil comes to life in this modern-day love story. It ostensibly begins twenty-five years ago with the birth of Brendan Davitt in County Clare, Ireland, to American parents. Brendanâs arrival is accompanied by strange portents: the scream of the shrike, the bansheeâs wail, the sighting of an evanescent priest called the Magus and his white bull mastiff. But in fact, the novel begins eons ago, when the angel Lucifer challenges Godâs authority and falls from heaven. In retaliation, Lucifer corrupts Eve and so brings death to men. God is angry, and this is his judgment: The angel Timothy, only a temporary traitor in the heavenly war, will be punished by having to wander the earth in the guise of a priest. He must look for a human with a purple aura, a sign of saint-like benevolence, who will forgive Timothy for his part in the heavenly rebellion. If the priest is forgiven, Luciferânow called Satanâand his friends will be destroyed.
