Beyond Saturn's Gate

When Richard Hunter retreats to an off-grid hermits cottage in the Yorkshire village of Sommerton, he seeks only to write mystical poetry in quiet obscurity. But the sleepy parish harbours dark currents – a predatory developer scheming to seize church lands, a vulnerable curate under siege, and an aristocratic family fighting to preserve their ancestral home.

As Richard becomes more deeply involved, he finds himself navigating a tortuous path between Amanda, the embattled and disturbingly attractive priestess, and the darker mysteries of Miriam Doyle, a cleaning woman who knows much more than shes saying. Guided by his dreams, a daemonic wisdom, and the ghost of his beloved art teacher, Richard discovers that an authentic authority emerges not from power, but from surrender to deeper mysteries.

Part mystery, part memoir, Beyond Saturns Gate weaves together political intrigue, mythic consciousness, and the eternal struggle between extractive greed and genuine community. It is a story of how ordinary people, guided by extraordinary inner voices, can protect what matters most.

"In a post-truth world where nothing seems to mean anything any more, the daemon never lies."
