Upon the death of her mother Ruth Mayfield is sent to New York city to live with an aunt whom she has never seen, who is a celebrated, emotional actress, and who has the unique distinction of having divorced three husbands. Ruth in her early teens, dabbled below the surface of mysterious, occult things; to her amazement she discovers an actively evil hypnotic influence among her aunt’s servants. George, the powerfully built, red-eyed Hindu, not only very nearly kills Gloria Mayfield’s first husband by his mystic power of thought and faith, but also comes close to wrecking Gloria’s future. Ruth, however, quietly intervenes, and after much anxiety, has the happiness of seeing Percy Pendragon, Gloria’s first husband, miraculously restored to health; Gloria restored to Percy, and George’s sinister power utterly broken. Ruth’s own love affair together with her frustrated ambition to be a great artist, offset the mystic atmosphere that hangs over Gloria and her household.

“An amusing improbable tale, with a quasi-psychic twist that should create for it a furor among the many followers of the various cults now in vogue.”
