The Witches of Eileanan: Book six. The Fathomless Caves is the explosive final instalment of this bestselling series I saw the scaly sea rise and flood the land, the Red Wanderer like a bloody gash in the sky. That is when they will come, with the rising o' the red comet the Fairgean shall come ... Before his death, the blind prophet Jorge had foreseen the conjuring of a tidal wave by the sea-dwelling Fairgean, Eileanan's bitterest enemies. Driven by ancient hatreds, the Fairgean have called upon dreadful powers to aid them in their quest to totally annihilate all those who dwell upon the land. As the time of the comet draws ever closer, Lachlan and Iseult try desperately to avert the terrible fate the seer had prophesied, testing their strength and love to the utmost. Meanwhile, Isabeau must travel a dark and dangerous road to fulfill her own destiny and prove herself worthy of the ring of the sorceress. Facing old enemies and new, the most difficult challenge of all will be conquering the ghosts of her past. For if Isabeau is to heal the land, she first must find the way to healing her own troubled spirit ... The Fathomless Caves brings to a dramatic conclusion the war between the land-dwellers of Eileanan and the sea-dwelling Fairgean - a war which has been building steadily since readers first found out about the Fairgean's devious plans in Dragonclaw. The Witches of Eileanan Series Book 1: Dragonclaw Book 2 The Pool of Two Moons Book 3: The Cursed Towers Book 4: The Forbidden Land Book 5: The Skull of the World Book 6: The Fathomless Caves.… (altro)
The entire cast comes together in this stunning conclusion. Some of our old friends play bigger parts then others but all of the loose ends are tied up. Love is tested, loyalty challenged, and sacrifices are made. This book provides us with a very satisfying, and in some ways, bittersweet ending to a vibrant and engrossing series. I was sad to close the book; I enjoyed every minute of this story and adored the characters.

1. Magic is the mother of eternity, and of the essence of all essences, for it makes itself by itself and is understood in the desire.
2. It is nothing in itself but a will. . . .
5. Magic is spirit and being is its body. . . .
6. Magic is the most secret thing.
– Jakob Böhme, Base des six point thésophiques, 1620

For all those who died -- stripped naked, shaved, shorn,
For all those who screamed in vain to the Great Goddess,
only to have their tongues ripped out by the root,
For all those who were pricked, racked, broken on the
wheel for the sins of their Inquisitors.
For all those whose beauty stirred their tormentors to fury;
And for those whose ugliness did the same.
And for all those who were either ugly nor beautiful, but
only women who would not submit.
For all those quick fingers, broken in the vise.
For all those soft arms, pulled from their sockets.
For all those budding breasts, ripped with hot pincers,
For all those midwives, killed merely for the sin of
delivering man to an imperfect world.
For all those witch-women, my sister who breathed freer
as the flames took them,
knwng as they shed their female bodies,
the seared flesh falling like fruit in the flames,
that death alone would cleanse them of the sin for which
they died --
the sin of being born a woman who is more than the sum of
her parts
-- Anonymous, sixteenth century
(Published in Erica Jong, Witches, 1981)
