The Grail Twins – A Cathar Legacy

More than a story – a mystery school initiation

A tale of dragons, an ancient bloodline, and the hidden wisdom of Sophia.

When Oxford doctor Annie Morgan turns to hypnotherapy to quiet her night terrors, she unlocks memories she cannot explain – glimpses of a Cathar girl fleeing Montségur, sacred relics entrusted to her care, and a treasure buried high above the monastery at Montserrat. As her visions lead her through Atlantis, Egypt, Druid Wales, Avalon, and Rosslyn Chapel, Annie pieces together the story of Anna and Dewi – twins born of Magdalene and Yeshua, protectors of Sophia’s flame, trained by Merlin and Taliesin, and guarded by dragons. In their Atlantean lifetime, their destiny is to restore balance after the Fall, healing the rift between light and shadow – a harmony that will one day awaken the true Grail. Now, as Annie walks the ancient stones and meets the man her soul has known for millennia, she learns what it truly means to be the Grail’s keeper in a world that has forgotten.

A story of love, remembrance, and the return of Sophia’s wisdom, The Grail Twins invites readers on a journey through history, myth, and the light within.

Saskia van der Zee is a crime writer inspired by the rugged beauty of the Shropshire Hills, a passion first sparked by the adventure books of her childhood. She holds a degree in Medieval History from the University of Oxford and an MA in Creative Writing.

Across an eclectic career as a teacher, voice coach, and equine massage therapist, books have always been her first love. She wrote her first novel for her children — now long grown-up — in a yellow camper van parked at the bottom of Ashes Hollow on the Long Mynd.

When she is not writing, Saskia can be found exploring the hills with her partner or reading in front of a log fire. She lives in Shropshire, juggling her writing with caring for a menagerie of horses, dogs and cats.

She is the author of the DI Georgie Fraser series, set in the iconic Shropshire Hills National Landscape and published by her own Dove Cottage Press. The latest in series, Bones of Caer Caradoc, was released on 29th September.

The Little Review is the pocket magazine for anyone interested in poetry. It is sold in more UK bookshops than any other magazine dedicated to poetry.

In each issue you will find pithy reviews, erudite essays, stylish comic-strips, impertinent interviews, a fiendish literary crossword and a handful of new poems.

Poetry magazines can be very dull. The Little Review is not a poetry magazine. We are a magazine – one that just happens to be entirely about poetry.
