Roewan Cairns' life as a devout Catholic is shattered when she is savagely attacked and later learns that it was a deliberate act. With the help of a grief-stricken cop and the priest who raised her, Roewan soon finds out why: she is the long-awaited leader of a secret sect whose sole mission is to bring down the Catholic Church and reinstate the pagan faith of the Goddess to the world. Now hunted by an assassin hired by the Church and with a Cardinal's driven obsession to become Pope, Roewan has less than twenty-four hours to fulfill her destiny. On a journey that will take her from Vancouver to Stonehenge, Roewan's success or failure will make the difference between spiritual slavery or freedom for all.

The debate about God-language has two opposing extremes. One side maintains that biblical language and masculine pronouns must be retained. The other argues that female imagery for God is preferable.

Do you ever find that the earth stills and you suddenly feel acutely alive? Have you ever looked into an animal's eyes and felt the pull of a more primal world? Do you sometimes feel panic rise, or isolation sink upon you, or simply feel out of kilter with the modern world? 'Inside my cauldron is a thick fistful of paper, old diary entries, work "to do" lists, notes I wrote while I was in a bad place and feeling trapped in a life that was keeping my mind small and narrow; thoughts and feelings that are holding me back, keeping me tied to a time I want to let go of. These papers are flashes of lightning across a darkened room and I want them gone. As they curl and burn, twisting in their black spirals like the farewell flourish of a travelling cloak, a sense of calm sweeps through my chest and shoulders. I feel it so strongly, like a blast of ice to my system, shivering out the old thoughts. I'm burning a path for something new to come in.'
