  <default_description>In this powerful and elegant story set in a future Earth very different from our own, a new kind of human has evolved to challenge the dominion of Homo sapiens. This new breed is stronger, smarter, and far more beautiful than their parent race, and are endowed with psychic as well as physical gifts. They are destined to supplant humanity as we know it, but humanity won't die without a struggle.Here at last in a single volume are all three of Constantine's Wraeththu trilogy: The Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit, The Bewitchments of Love and Hate, and The Fulfilments of Fate and Desire.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The only thing that kept this book from getting one star was the entertainment value of knowing that it was the worst possible book EVER! You wanted to keep reading to see if it could possibly get any worse, and it always did. Always! This is one book that I think actually DESERVES to be burned!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is SO WEIRD in a perverted way. Constantine takes the gay male fantasy to another world in a sci-fi story of the next human race that has superhuman abilities. By the way, only men are of the blessed. Oh, and men can give birth too.]]></body>
