The Golden Bough

The narrative follows Philip Rowland, an escaped man who finds refuge with a group whose outward socialism and ritualistic symbols mask a dangerous conspiracy. With the help of Tanya and other allies he navigates secretive meetings, coded relics such as a double-headed bust inscribed REX NEMORENSIS, and a web of plots, pursuits and narrow escapes. Episodes alternate quiet domestic moments and sudden action as investigations, betrayals and rescues lead toward confrontations involving committees, shadowy opponents and daring flights. Themes of disguise, loyalty and the tension between mystic ritual and political intrigue run through a layered adventure of suspense.
