Summary: "A Son of Perdition: An Occult Romance" by Fergus Hume is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the themes of occultism, desire, and the complexities of human relationships, particularly focusing on the characters Alice Enistor and Julian Hardwick. The story explores Alice's emotional struggles and the influence of darker forces in her life. At the start of the novel, we meet Julian, a struggling artist, and Alice, a delicate and introspective young woman living in a gloomy mansion with her emotionally distant father.
