The Masters (The Inklings)

Into the Wardrobe: C. S. Lewis and the Narnia Chronicles   (Sep 9, 2005)
Looking for the King: An Inklings Novel  (2010)


1938: As the world moves toward global war, a secret angelic battle is waged in the heavenly realms to determine mankind's fate. The infamous Aleister Crowley plans to manipulate those angelic struggles and thus shape the world according to his will. Only "The Inklings" - fantasy authors J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Charles Williams - oppose him. They must decipher a landscape of sacred geometry to intercept Crowley at the threshold of heaven. And, for one of the Inklings, the pursuit will reach outside time itself. –Amazon Description

Charles Williams (British writer) (1886 - 1945)
Williams’s novels  Aspects of Power

He is writing that sort of book in which we begin by saying, let us suppose that this everyday world were at some one point invaded by the marvelous.— CS Lewis on Charles William's novels

“An hour's conversation on literature between two ardent minds with a common devotion to a neglected poet is a miraculous road to intimacy.” ― Charles Williams, War in Heaven
