'Flaw in the Crystal' Summary
Agatha Verrall, married but dissatisfied, finds herself drawn to the intellectual charm of Rodney Lanyon. Their connection, however, quickly becomes an affair, and Agatha struggles to maintain a spiritual connection while resisting the physical allure. Unbeknownst to her, Agatha possesses an extraordinary power: she can manipulate the minds and even the physical bodies of those around her. She begins by using this ability to ensure Rodney's visits, but soon realizes its potential for healing psychological disorders beyond the reach of conventional medicine. However, with this great power comes a terrifying responsibility. The consequences of Agatha's actions, both for herself and those she attempts to help, become increasingly dire, pushing her to the brink of her own sanity. 'Flaw in the Crystal' is a chilling tale of the dangers of unchecked power, the complexities of love and desire, and the delicate balance between the spiritual and the physical.Book Details
