Pain and pleasure, ecstasy and horror fuse in this
splendid array of worldly parables from the pen of a master.
What if you were a double amputee, singing for joy on the
streets of New York . . . or a man who has actually held the earth in his
hands? What if you were both the god and goddess in one of the most exalted
erotic experiences in the universe . . . or the artist Correggio in the
bitterness of his most sublime work . . . or a serving maid dreaming of love
and luxury in a palace of death . . . or
a man on a fatal mission, treading a battlefield ruled by a dying god?
If you have the spirit and the longing to imagine,
come along on a journey to the heart of passion—where love and hate are mirror
images, where the alternating pulse beats of craving and denial define desire.
Only William Kotzwinkle's
extraordinary talent could chart such a course, could send his vision soaring
through so many forms of fancy. In Jewel of the Moon, he transcends even his own marvelous powers of invention to create a
cosmology of constant surprise—and irresistible enchantment.

With a sly blend of fantasy, humor, and paranormal adventure, Kevin Hearne has established a reputation as the trickster god of action-packed mash-ups. His signature creation, Atticus O’Sullivan, is a folk hero for the twenty-first century, battling legendary beasts, shadowy mystics, and demonic demigods from around the world. Now this addictive eBook bundle brings together the first six novels of The Iron Druid Chronicles (with bonus novellas and short stories) in one supersized dose of genre-smashing mayhem:
HOUNDED
HEXED
HAMMERED
TRICKED
TWO RAVENS AND ONE CROW (NOVELLA)
TRAPPED
HUNTED
GRIMOIRE OF THE LAMB (NOVELLA)
Also includes the short stories “Clan Rathskeller” and “Kaibab Unbound,” as well as an excerpt from the seventh novel in The Iron Druid Chronicles, Shattered!
Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbors and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old—when in actuality, he’s twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: He draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer.
Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he’s hounded Atticus for centuries. Now the determined deity has tracked him down, and Atticus will need all his power—plus the help of a seductive goddess of death, his vampire and werewolf team of attorneys, a bartender possessed by a Hindu witch, and some good old-fashioned luck of the Irish—to kick some Celtic arse and deliver himself from evil.
