Clive Barker

A massive tale of secrets, corruption and magic between two feuding families – the powerful Gearys and the shadowy Barbarossas.

Galilee

Gosse

And the gods go on, in spite of themselves; and the human road stretches out before us; and we walk, like wounded children, waiting for the stregnth to run.

Rich and powerful, the Geary dynasty has reigned over American society for decades. But it is a family with dark, terrible secrets. For the Gearys are a family at war. And their adversaries are the Barbarossas, a clan whose timeless origins lie in myth, whose mystical influence is felt in the intense, sensual exchanges of flesh and soul. Now, their battle is about to escalate... When Galilee, prodigal prince of the Barbarossa clan, meets Rachel, young bride of the Gearys' own scion Mitchell, they fall in love, consumed by a passion that unleashes long-simmering hatreds. Old insanities arise, old adulteries are uncovered, and a seemingly invincible family will begin to wither, exposing its unholy roots...

I usually like Clive Barker but this is one of the most boring books I've ever read. There's not much else I can even say about it.
