Transformed by Don Juan from a bent, gray-haired old woman into a sensual sorceress whose mission is to test Castaneda, Dona Soledad turns her mysterious and awesome powers against Castaneda in a struggle that nearly consumes him.

The dazzling, fantastic work that concludes the teachings of the Yaqui sorcerer, Don Juan. Castaneda is an anthropologist, a mystic, a poet and a marvelously gifted author whose books have sold phenomenally well. "One can't exaggerate the significance of what Carlos Castaneda has done".--The New York Times.

His legend and his power have grown through two generations, in five astonishing volumes, including The Teachings of Don Juan and A Separate Reality. Now, in this haunting and deeply personal book, Castaneda takes the reader into the very heart of sorcery, challenging both imagination and reason.
