J.L. Michael's Novel Explores the Roaring Twenties

Set during the waning days of the 1920s, the story follows photographer Alexandra Bathenbrook as she navigates a life filled with adventure, glamour, and turmoil. Her experiences draw the attention of tabloid journalists, while occultists see her as a modern-day Eve. Additionally, she faces challenges from an otherworldly stalker and the difficulties stemming from her ambitious career.

Operating from her London base, Alexandra's photography captures pivotal moments such as the turbulent inception of Saudi Arabia, the rise of fascism across Europe, and the very first World Cup in Uruguay. However, her complicated upbringing as the daughter of prominent Satanists adds layers of complexity to her journey. As she seeks guidance from notable figures of the time, Alexandra confronts ancient conspiracies and her own shadowy past, ultimately facing a critical choice: accept her dark legacy or abandon the chaotic beauty of life.
