The Story



This book is an unusual fairytale about love and the human spirit, narrated in the poetic voice of Cassandra Morgante, who is part human and part stellar. She was born to fulfil a Prophecy and turn humankind into a race of immortal beings.

The story follows nineteen years of Cassandra’s life, from her student days in Edinburgh to adulthood in modern-day Ireland. She was adopted by Lord and Lady Hughes when she was eight, following the death of her parents. In the face of adversity, Cassandra remains aware of her true origin and the mission she must fulfil. Her powers begin to manifest when she is in her twenties, much to the very human dismay of her ego. When her path crosses that of Oscar O’Leary, a spiritual artist and secret initiate into the mysteries of the Earth, her true adventure starts and a new humanity becomes possible. The Ascended Masters are Cassandra’s powerful allies in her transformation into an eternal being. They live in the ethereal city of Shambhala and co-narrate her story. They know that she was chosen to introduce immortality to humankind. But many are sworn to stop this from happening. Mr Harker and the pharmaceutical giant Three-D are her main enemies. When her powers are almost fully fledged, Oscar falls prey to the Dark Side and deserts her. Cassandra becomes vulnerable to attacks from her opponents. The Masters’ Plan to turn the Earth into the Garden of Eden is in peril. Ultimately, only Oscar can help Cassandra achieve her mission. Will he?



Although the book is about a time-travelling romance spurred by an ancient prophecy, Cassandra and Oscar’s journey is surprisingly more human than it might sound from this preamble.
