In the ancient sands of Egypt, where gods whisper and the veil between life and death is thin, there reigned a Pharaoh named Kokb'ael, wise, powerful, and beloved by his people. But beneath his golden rule lay a fear darker than the shadowed tombs of the underworld – a fear of mortality and a forgotten legacy. "Origins: The Pharaoh's Pact" delves into the heart of Kokb'ael's obsession, as a prophecy of doom sets him on a perilous path. Desperate to transcend the grip of death and carve a name that would echo through the ages, Kokb'ael turns to forbidden magic, seeking the knowledge that lies hidden in the cryptic whispers of shadows and ancient texts. His quest leads him to The Grey, an enigmatic figure bearing the secrets of immortality. But such power comes with a grave cost. As Kokb'ael embraces the dark arts, he transforms not only his fate but also the destiny of his kingdom. His pursuit of eternal life ushers in an era of darkness, casting a shadow over the lands he once nobly ruled. Journey into a world where the line between hero and villain blurs, and where the pursuit of eternal life comes at an unimaginable price.

Peter and Rebecca Harris: mid-forties denizens of Manhattan's SoHo, nearing the apogee of committed careers in the arts—he a dealer, she an editor. With a spacious loft, a college-age daughter in Boston, and lively friends, they are admirable, enviable contemporary urbanites with every reason, it seems, to be happy. Then Rebecca's much younger look-alike brother, Ethan (known in thefamily as Mizzy, "the mistake"), shows up for a visit. A beautiful, beguiling twenty-three-year-old with a history of drug problems, Mizzy is wayward, at loose ends, looking for direction. And in his presence, Peter finds himself questioning his artists, their work, his career—the entire world he has so carefully constructed. Like his legendary, Pulitzer Prize–winning novel, The Hours, Michael Cunningham's masterly new novel is a heartbreaking look at the way we live now. Full of shocks and aftershocks, it makes us think and feel deeply about the uses and meaning of beauty and the place of love in our lives.
