The Place Of The Lion by Charles Williams

When ancient Platonic archetypes begin breaking into the modern world, a small circle of ordinary people must confront living, elemental Forms—lion, city, man and others—that threaten to strip reality down to raw, impersonal essences. As these mythic presences spread across England they unsettle identities, relationships and moral order, forcing the characters to marshal spiritual insight, courage and self-sacrifice to resist the encroaching abstraction and restore a humane, embodied balance. The result is a tense, metaphysical drama about power, freedom and the nature of reality.
