The Ritual (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Ritual is a lyrical, emotionally charged coming-of-age tale set in a secluded French town in the 17th century. In Marcheval, every girl, upon reaching her nineteenth year, must take part in an ancient rite-a ceremonial act woven deep into the town's fabric.

For Fiona, this moment marks more than a passage. It stirs something unspoken beneath the surface: questions about tradition, womanhood, and the quiet strength hidden within constraint. Over the course of a single season, she moves through firelight and shadow, through the gaze of others and the solitude of her own thoughts, drawing closer to what it might mean to claim a life as her own.

Steeped in atmosphere and ritual, The Ritual blends sensuality, myth, and resistance into a haunting meditation on legacy, sexuality, and the slow, deliberate unraveling of silence.

Perfect for readers drawn to sensual literary fiction, emotionally rich historical settings, and stories where transformation is as intimate as it is inevitable.

Autorenporträt

Louis de Clairvoile is a European academic in his mid-fifties whose fiction is shaped by decades of experience at the intersection of discipline, desire, and intellectual pursuit. His writing explores the realities of dominance and submissiongrounded in clarity, responsibility, and the deliberate act of giving oneself. Clairvoile's booksThe Ritual, Seen, House of Three, Camille, and Petitetrace the tension between control and surrender, self-mastery and exposure, showing how real transformation arises not from rebellion, but from consent and choice.
His prose is both precise and sensual, marked by an understanding that power and intimacy are built in silence, ritual, and the smallest gestures. For Clairvoile, power is never about domination for its own sake, but about the responsibility and precision required to guide anotherwith attentiveness, care, and unwavering clarity.
His stories invite readers into worlds of psychological depth and sensory richness, where intimacy is revealed in the space between wordsand where the fascination lies in those acts and choices that cannot be undone, the changes that mark us forever.
Whether in the charged stillness of a ritual, the brightness of a city, or the quiet after a door has closed, his protagonists encounter transformation not in spectacle, but in the slow undoing of certainty.
