The Hidden Abbey by Jodine Turner is both
fantasy and visionary fiction, with a
historical setting in the worlds of Avalon
and Glastonbury Abbey, split between
two separate timelines and skillfully
developed to explore two lovers from a
distant past reborn into modern day for
a second chance. The reader is immersed
into a world of magic and esoteric
practices, with the Christian perception
of life merging with
the pagan.
In sixteenth-century Avalon, Marissa is
the legendary priestess of the Isle of
Avalon, an impulsive and spirited,
beautiful young woman who must
learn the science of becoming the
High Priestess. But she has a secret love
affair with a monk called Michael, the
same who saved her from drowning as
a child. Marissa and Michael are tasked
to safeguard the Creation Bowl—the
sacred vessel containing the wisdom
of the ancient Goddess tradition that
has the power to heal the world. But
when King Henry VIII destroys all the
abbeys, the treasure is at great risk
and the struggle to protect it leads to
the separation of the lovers.
In the twenty-first century, Marissa and
Michael are given a second chance. Can
they rekindle the flame of the love they
once experienced and lost and also
bring back the power of the Creation
Bowl to a world badly in need of it?
A work of great imagination and
creative genius, The Hidden Abbey is
a tantalizing narrative with great
potential to entertain a wide audience.
It contains hints of the historical,
mystical, and the supernatural. The
author paints a vivid setting and pulls
readers in with the power of imagery.
The characters are elaborately
developed and filled with depth;
they are relatable and it is interesting
how they evolve through the narrative.
The author creates a powerful
dialogue between the Christian
religion and the ancient mysticism
of the pagan world and weaves a
narrative that is both uplifting and
heartwarming. It is a beautifully
crafted story with powerful
plotlines, merging the past and
the present in an adventure that is
exhilarating.
