Set against the backdrop of rural Wales and London, the story follows Lucian Taylor, a young man influenced by his experiences at an ancient Roman fort, the Hill of Dreams, where he has vivid, sensual visions. As he matures, Lucian faces the harsh realities of life as a struggling writer in London, grappling with poverty and hardship while striving to express his artistic ambitions. The novel intertwines elements of horror, fantasy, and the author's fascination with history, reflecting Machen's semi-autobiographical journey.
