Every
family has its secrets. The Gearys are no exception. As rich as the
Rockefellers, as glamorous and powerful as the Kennedys, the Geary dynasty has
held subtle sway over American life since the Civil War, brilliantly concealing
the roots of its influence and the depths of its corruptions.
All that is about to change.
Rachel Pallenberg never dreamed she'd ever meet much less marry America's most
eligible bachelor, Mitchell Geary. But their wedding is the last time she feels
as though she's living a dream come true.
For the Gearys are still at war. Their enemies are another dynasty - the
Barbarossas ó whose origins lie not in history but in myth and, whose influence
is felt not in Washington or on the Dow Jones, but in the sensual exchanges of
flesh and soul.
When the prodigal prince of the Barbarossas clan, Galilee who
sails the world seldom setting foot on the land ó falls in love with Rachel,
the pent-up loathing between the families erupts in a mutually destructive
frenzy. Adulteries are uncovered; insanity reigns.
The secrets are out.
Galilee is a massive tale, mingling the powerful realism of Barker's bestseller
Sacrament with the dark, genre-breaking invention for which he's known
worldwide. The magical eroticism of Weaveworld, the chilling rituals of
Hellraiser, the grand metaphysical visions of the Books of the Art. Galilee has
room for them all.
