Sinopse

"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."

On the eve of World War I, a secret war is being waged in the shadows of London and Paris. A group of white magicians, led by the enlightened Cyril Grey, embarks on a radical experiment: the creation of a "Moonchild"—a perfect human soul drawn from the heavens to act as a messiah for a new age. But standing in their way is a cabal of black magicians who will stop at nothing to corrupt the experiment and claim the child's power for themselves.

A Roman à Clef of the Occult: Moonchild is famously a thinly veiled satire of the real-life rivalries between Crowley and his contemporaries. Beneath the pseudonyms, readers will find biting caricatures of figures like W.B. Yeats, Arthur Edward Waite, and MacGregor Mathers. It is a rare, insider's look at the rituals, philosophies, and ego-clashes that defined the Golden Age of the Occult.

A Masterpiece of High Magick: Beyond the drama, the novel serves as a profound exploration of Crowley's own system of "Magick." It delves into the mechanics of the astral plane, the nature of the soul, and the ethical responsibility of the magician. Moonchild blends high-stakes suspense with esoteric wisdom, offering a narrative that is as intellectually challenging as it is thrilling.

Step into the circle of power. Purchase "Moonchild" today and witness the birth of a new aeon.

    The New York Times bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook offers a timely novel featuring his most fascinating character yet, a Vietnam vet embarking on a quixotic crusade to track down his nemesis from the war. 
    After sixty-eight-year-old David Granger crashes his BMW, medical tests reveal a brain tumor that he readily attributes to his wartime Agent Orange exposure. He wakes up from surgery repeating a name no one in his civilian life has ever heard—that of a Native American soldier whom he was once ordered to discipline. David decides to return something precious he long ago stole from the man he now calls Clayton Fire Bear. It may be the only way to find closure in a world increasingly at odds with the one he served to protect. It may also help him to finally recover from his wife’s untimely demise. 
    As David confronts his past to salvage his present, a poignant portrait emerges: that of an opinionated and good-hearted American patriot fighting like hell to stay true to his red, white, and blue heart, even as the country he loves rapidly changes in ways he doesn’t always like or understand. Hanging in the balance are Granger’s distant art-dealing son, Hank; his adoring seven-year-old granddaughter, Ella; and his best friend, Sue, a Vietnamese American who respects David’s fearless sincerity. 
    Through the controversial, wrenching, and wildly honest David Granger, Matthew Quick offers a no-nonsense but ultimately hopeful view of America’s polarized psyche. By turns irascible and hilarious, insightful and inconvenient, David is a complex, wounded, honorable, and loving man. The Reason You’re Alive examines how the secrets and debts we carry from our past define us; it also challenges us to look beyond our own prejudices and search for the good in us all.

    Phoebe Ellis thought her life was already circling the drain, but attending the funeral of a wealthy author she's never met with the hopes she was named in the will? That's a new low.

Hitch-hiking up from London to Glasgow to keep a promise to a man he'll never see again, Aidan's fully prepared to offer payment in kind for his lifts. He's not expecting a good-looking older bloke to pick him up in a Mercedes -- nor that he'll find John such good company. After a few short hours together Aidan's already starting to care what John thinks of him.
    When slow traffic forces them to get a room for the night, Aidan's not sure what to do. Putting out as a thank you to a stranger is one thing, but can he really go through with it with the first person he's come to care for since he made that promise? 
    And what's going to happen when they reach their destination?

    Celebrity chef Lorenzo Morrati is about to lose it all. Not only is his wife pregnant with another man's child and divorcing him, but if anyone believes the false allegations she's making, the network will drop his long-running cooking show. Escaping London and the tabloids for a tiny ocean side Irish town seems like the perfect way to ride out this storm. 
     
     
     
    But a new location doesn't make his problems go away. When Allison finds her handsome new neighbor on the edge of the jagged cliffs, drunk and ranting about giving him up, she's compelled to help him. What starts as a rescue mission slowly takes a turn. Lorenzo is hell on smoldering wheels, but it's his playful smile that undoes the normally reserved Allison, and for the first time in a long time, she lets herself feel passion and hope. 
     
     
     
    Will Lorenzo and Allison bring each other back to life? Or will secrets destroy them?
