Book Description
The heart of Sicily, where ancient myths echo through crumbling ruins and long-forgotten gods lurk in the shadows … Michael Rempart, renowned archaeologist, finds himself in a new role as guardian and protector to his troubled half-sister, Zoe. Seeking refuge from her afflictions, they retreat to a secluded dig site in the remote Sicilian countryside—the place where legend has it the goddess Persephone was abducted by the Hades, god of the Underworld. But their quest for peace is short-lived when Eden Burrows, a genealogist, uncovers a secret hidden within the ancient walls of the Rempart family castle— the key to deciphering the enigmatic Voynich manuscript, the manuscript that Michael and Zoe’s father, an alchemist, views as the gateway to eternal life. Eden's discovery propels her into a perilous odyssey, binding her fate to the mysterious Remparts while awakening slumbering gods and stirring ancient battles for power long forgotten. With treachery lurking in every shadow, as Zoe wrestles with her demons, and Michael and Eden find solace amid the chaos, they are drawn into a race against time. In this clash of titans, where gods and mortals alike are mere pawns, the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. Will Michael and Eden unlock the secrets of the past in time to save the future? The adventure awaits, where ancient mysteries and modern heroes collide. Join the many fans of the Ancient Secrets novels. Each can be read as a stand-alone work. All are available as ebook, print, and large print editions.

The Familiar Dark
Author: Amy Engel
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1524746010
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
One of Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2020 (Mystery/Thriller) "From its gripping beginning to its sobering finale, Amy Engel's The Familiar Dark never fails to enthrall with surprising twists."–Associated Press A spellbinding story of a mother with nothing left to lose who sets out on an all-consuming quest for justice after her daughter is murdered on the town playground. Sometimes the answers are worse than the questions. Sometimes it's better not to know. Set in the poorest part of the Missouri Ozarks, in a small town with big secrets, The Familiar Dark opens with a murder. Eve Taggert, desperate with grief over losing her daughter, takes it upon herself to find out the truth about what happened. Eve is no stranger to the dark side of life, having been raised by a hard-edged mother whose lessons Eve tried not to pass on to her own daughter. But Eve may need her mother's cruel brand of strength if she's going to face the reality about her daughter's death and about her own true nature. Her quest for justice takes her from the seedy underbelly of town to the quiet woods and, most frighteningly, back to her mother's trailer for a final lesson. The Familiar Dark is a story about the bonds of family—women doing the best they can for their daughters in dire circumstances—as well as a story about how even the darkest and most terrifying of places can provide the comfort of home.

Being Reflected Upon
Author: Alice Notley
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0593512065
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
A memoir in verse from one of America's legendary poets In a New York Times review of Alice Notley’s 2007 collection In the Pines, Joel Brouwer wrote that “the radical freshness of Notley’s poems stems not from what they talk about, but how they talk, in a stream-of-consciousness style that both describes and dramatizes the movement of the poet’s restless mind, leaping associatively from one idea or sound to the next.” Notley’s new collection is at once a window into the sources of her telepathic and visionary poetics, and a memoir through poems of her Paris-based life between 2000 and 2017, when she finished treatment for her first breast cancer. As Notley wrote these poems she realized that events during this period were connected to events in previous decades; the work moves from reminiscences of her mother and of growing up in California to meditations on illness and recovery to various poetic adventures in Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, and Edinburgh. It is also concerned with the mysteries of consciousness and the connection between the living and dead, “stream-of-consciousness” teasing out a lived physics or philosophy.
