The Secret Glory
by Arthur Machen
“In a world of cold tradition, one boy seeks the fire of the divine.”
Trapped within the soul-crushing walls of a traditional British boarding school, a defiant young visionary discovers that the world is far more ancient and magical than his teachers dare to admit. Ambrose Meyrick’s rebellion leads him away from mundane discipline and into a transcendent search for the hidden radiance of the Holy Grail.
