Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Slayer of Souls" by Robert W. Chambers is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story centers around Tressa Norne, a young American girl who is haunted by the memories of her traumatic past during her time in Asia, where she was often ensnared by the sinister influences of a cult known as the Yezidees under the enigmatic Prince Sanang. As she navigates her fear and the potential perils that accompany her existence, the narrative explores deeper themes of life, death, and the battle for one’s soul against malevolent forces. At the start of the novel, we witness Tressa's emergence from a long period steeped in dread and trauma as she travels on a steamer, leaving behind the shadows of her past. She struggles to reclaim her sense of self amidst the kindness of fellow passengers but is still confronted by foreboding visions that hint at her entanglement with dark forces. When confronted by Sanang, an emissary of the Yezidees, Tressa's previous convictions about the control over her soul are deeply challenged. Her determination to survive and assert her autonomy against the sinister magic of her past becomes central to her character, setting the stage for the novel's unfolding conflict between good and evil.
