Wraeththu Mythos Books in Order

Constantine adapts the mythology of her Wraeththu novels into a system of contemporary pagan practice. Rituals, visualizations and symbolic exercises introduce the Dehara, seasonal festivals and imagined sacred spaces, with an emphasis on exploring androgyny and personal creativity.

Jassenah's magical studies become complicated by his feelings for his mentor, Ysobi. The arrival of a troubled new student disrupts their relationships, exposing jealousy and raising difficult questions about the methods used to teach and restore those seeking help.

After being driven from his former community, Gesaril seeks a new beginning at a magical academy. His past continues to follow him, however, and warnings that others dismiss leave him struggling to defend himself against a powerful former mentor.

Ysobi travels to help a community rebuild its spiritual practices, only to discover a landscape troubled by old violence and forbidden places. Preparing a young heir's initiation draws him into the mystery of a damaged protective enchantment called the Moonshawl.

Fifteen stories return to the world of the Wraeththu, exploring their beginnings, changing societies and possible futures. The collection brings together Constantine's contributions to earlier anthologies alongside illustrated fragments from the early imaginative work that preceded her novels.
