Portent
Published in 1884, 'Portent' by George MacDonald follows Duncan Campbell as he leaves the Scottish Highlands in search of fortune, entangled with a woman whose fate is linked to his. He faces her indifference, familial malice, and supernatural forces in his quest to break an old curse. This fantasy romance draws from MacDonald's Celtic tradition of 'Second Sight' and reflects on human nature, influencing later fantasy authors like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.
