The Power Places series is Theresa Crater’s longest-running work, spanning six books from 2006 to 2022. Under the Stone Paw and Beneath the Hallowed Hill established the premise: real-world sacred sites hold genuine mystical power, and certain people are drawn to discover and protect them. Return of the Grail King, Frankincense and Myrrh, Into the City of Light, and A Merry Buddhist Christmas continued the exploration across different locations and traditions.
The series reflects Crater’s interest in comparative religion and sacred geography. Each book centers on a different “power place” and the spiritual tradition associated with it, from Egyptian sites to Arthurian holy places to Buddhist temples. The result is a series that works as both fiction and a tour of the world’s mystical heritage.
