The thrilling conclusion to the Mesopotamian trilogy about the origin of angels and the real location of the lost Garden of Eden In 2011, D.J. McIntosh took the book world by storm with her bestselling debut novel, The Witch of Babylon. Praised by The Globe and Mail for its “stellar research” and “superb writing,” it introduced readers to John Madison, a rakish New York art dealer who uncovered a fabulous treasure trove of antiquities in the hills outside Baghdad and the truth behind a famous story long believed to be a myth. In this highly anticipated conclusion, Madison is hired by a famous magician to find a rare sixteenth century book on angel magic and the former assistant who stole it thirty-five years ago. Madison's quest leads him from the great mosques and churches of Istanbul to the ruins of Pergamon and the temples of the ancient Near East, where he discovers the true location of the Garden of Eden, the nature of angels, and the dark story of his birth.

A provocative new interpretation of the Adam and Eve story from an expert in Biblical literature. The Garden of Eden story, one of the most famous narratives in Western history, is typically read as an ancient account of original sin and humanity’s fall from divine grace. In this highly innovative study, Ziony Zevit argues that this is not how ancient Israelites understood the early biblical text. Drawing on such diverse disciplines as biblical studies, geography, archaeology, mythology, anthropology, biology, poetics, law, linguistics, and literary theory, he clarifies the worldview of the ancient Israelite readers during the First Temple period and elucidates what the story likely meant in its original context. Most provocatively, he contends that our ideas about original sin are based upon misconceptions originating in the Second Temple period under the influence of Hellenism. He shows how, for ancient Israelites, the story was really about how humans achieved ethical discernment. He argues further that Adam was not made from dust and that Eve was not made from Adam’s rib. His study unsettles much of what has been taken for granted about the story for more than two millennia—and has far-reaching implications for both literary and theological interpreters. “Classical Hebrew in the hands of Ziony Zevit is like a cello in the hands of a master cellist. He knows all the hidden subtleties of the instrument, and he makes you hear them in this rendition of the profoundly simple story of Adam, Eve, the Serpent, and their Creator in the Garden of Eden. Zevit brings a great deal of other biblical learning to bear in a surprisingly light-hearted book.”―Jack Miles, author of God: A Biography

Keel and Uehlinger's unique study brings the massive Palestinian archaeological evidence of 8,500 amulets and inscriptions to bear on these questions. Vindicating the use of symbols and visual remains to investigate ancient religion, the authors employ iconographic evidence from around 1750 B.C.E. through the Persian period (c. 333 B.C.E.) to reconstruct the emergence and development of the Yahweh cult in relation to its immediate neighbors and competitors. They also fully explore whether female characteristics were present in the early Yahweh figure and how they might have evolved in Israelite religion. Keel and Uehlinger's major study marks the maturation of iconographical studies and affords an exciting glimpse into the vibrant religious life of ancient Canaan and Israel.

When you betray an angel, there is hell to pay. Sammael. His name is whispered. He is feared. Once upon a time, Sammael—Sam to his enemies—was the most powerful angel of death in heaven. But he went rogue and was cast down to live with humans. Since Sam is well acquainted with sin, he enjoys being earthbound. He’s a supernatural powerhouse, the baddest of the bad, and he always gets what he wants. And right now, he wants…her. She looks like sin but with a touch of innocence. Seline O’Shaw tempts Sam. Torments him. And he knows that he should not trust her—not for a moment. But lust and trust don’t have to go hand in hand, so Sam takes what he wants. There is magic that whispers in the air around Seline. Magic that can tempt someone even as strong as Sam. Her job is to kill him, not lust after him. So she’s a supernatural assassin. Sue her. Not like Seline has ever been given a choice in what she does. But, when she suddenly has Sam showing her just how insanely powerful he can be, Seline realizes that she is in way, way over her head. And the emotions slamming through her? She definitely didn’t count on those. Falling for someone like Sam was never on her agenda. But now her heart is involved, and when Sam learns that she intended to betray him…It may be more than just her heart that is in jeopardy. Sam never forgives. He never forgets. His punishment will be the perfect sin. ANGEL BETRAYED was originally released by Kensington in July of 2012. The book features a dangerously powerful hero who loves playing with fire and wreaking havoc on the world around him. He adores being bad, but when he meets Seline…she may just be the greatest sin of his very long life. Obsession, lust, and paranormal danger are waiting for you.

But then the state's attorney begins to suspect that Alice's husband may not have killed himself . . . and finds out that Alice had secrets only her minister knew. Related through the eyes of four different narrators, Secrets of Edenis both a haunting literary thriller and a deeply evocative testament to the inner complexities that mark all of our lives. Once again, Chris Bohjalian has given us a riveting page-turner in which nothing is precisely what it seems.
