An engrossing story of the a young woman, Margaret, and her fiance, in Paris at the turn of the century. They meet a gross occultist, Oliver Haddo (apparently modelled on the English occultist Aleister Crowley) and events ensue, with Arthur and Haddo fighting and in revenge, Haddo enslaving Margaret to his "charms". I won't spoil the ending by revealing what happens, but I did find this very readable, for the most part, and was interested to see how it would come (not quite as I expected, I admit).
