Moonchild

Aleister Crowley

Synopsis

"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.

Merrily You

Chelsea M. Cameron

Holiday: If there’s one thing I can count on, it’s my family to be all in my business. No matter how many times I explain boundaries and privacy, they’re just not getting the memo, especially when it comes to my relationships. For years they’ve been asking me why I don’t date my best friend and roommate, Daniella. No matter how many times I say the words “we’re friends,” they’re not getting it. 
  
Daniella: I love my family. I really do. But they will NOT leave me alone about being single. Every time I show up, they’re throwing someone new at me or making pointed comments about Holiday that aren’t subtle at all. Since murder isn’t an option, I’m going to need another idea. 
  
Holiday: With my family Christmas celebration coming up, I honestly think about cancelling, but then I have a better idea. Since everyone already believes that I’m secretly in love with Danny, why not just go with it? We’ve known each other for so long, this will be easy to pull off. 
  
Daniella: Leave it to Holiday to come up with an absolutely wild, but completely brilliant, plan to get our families off our backs. The two of us are so comfortable that pretending to date shouldn’t be that different than being besties. And then … it is. Very, very different.

The Secret Society of Salzburg

Renee Ryan

From the author of The Widows of Champagne, and inspired by true events, comes a gripping and heartwrenching story of two very different women united to bring light to the darkest days of World War II. London, 1933 At first glance, Austrian opera singer Elsa Mayer-Braun has little in common with the young English typist she encounters on tour. Yet she and Hattie Featherstone forge an instant connection—and strike a dangerous alliance. Using their friendship as a cover, they form a secret society with a daring goal: to rescue as many Jews as possible from Nazi persecution. Though the war’s outbreak threatens Elsa and Hattie’s network, their efforts attract the covert attention of the British government, offering more opportunities to thwart the Germans. But Elsa’s growing fame as Hitler’s favorite opera singer, coupled with her secret Jewish ancestry, make her both a weapon and a target—until her future, too, hangs in the balance. From the glamorous stages of Covent Garden and Salzburg to the horrors of Bergen-Belsen,  two ordinary women swept up by the tide of war discover an extraordinary friendship—and the courage to save countless lives.
