Book Description

In the final installment of the MAGICKEEPERS series Nick leaves the safety of the Winter Palace and travels to England in search of the secret behind Rasputin's longevity. With appearances by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Shakespeare, THE CHALICE OF IMMORTALITY is a thrilling conclusion to this clever, contemporary take on the world of magic. Harry Houdini stole it from his best friend. Shakespeare used it to kill Macbeth. And it's the secret to Rasputin's terrifying existence. The Chalice of Immortality has been missing for nearly a hundred years. Nick Rostov has only a few days to find it—or his father will die. What would you do for a goblet with the power to control life and death? Praise for The Eternal Hourglass: "Though grounded in Russian history...this fantasy earns style points for being set in modern Las Vegas—in a hotel whose residents include polar bears, giant Siberian tigers, and Princess Anastasia herself."—Kirkus "Kirov's story feels plenty original, and kids will be charmed by her brand of magic."—Publishers Weekly

Book Description

In this remarkable novel Erica Kirov delivers one of the most memorable, unique and fast-paced adventures of the season. Complete with an incredible history, amazing characters (including snow leopards and crystal-ball salesmen) and a fascinating new take on magic, this is the must have new contemporary fantasy of the year. Nick Rostov's life is borderline embarrassing. His dad is well known as the worst magician in Las Vegas. Nick hasn't had a real friend in years. And his report card is not good at all. One F. Two Cs. One B-minus. And an A. In Health. But on Nick's thirteenth birthday his life changes forever. Awaking on the top floor of the world famous Winter Palace Hotel and Casino, he meets, for the first time, his extended family. A family gifted with the power of magic, real magic, exiled from their native Russia, they now hide in plain sight among the neon lights of the Casino. All members of the family are powerful magicians, but Nick is unique. Nick has the sight—the ability to see into the past. His gift is the only way to unravel the mystery of the Eternal Hourglass, a magic artifact so strong it can even stop time. But the family's enemies will stop at nothing to get it. Nick knows that he is in for the adventure of a lifetime... if he survives. The one and only Harry Houdini was killed for it, the most powerful magicians have battled for centuries to retrieve it, and even the Ancient Pharoahs feared its power. What would you do for an hourglass that stopped time?

Book Description

If you had the power within your reach to insure your own immortality, would you risk all to grasp it? Think about it. No longer would you plead for the mercy of others. No longer would you bow to invisible masters. No longer would you struggle for table scraps. You could become master of your own destiny. You could become as God. Drawing on the findings of science, religion, sociology, psychology, philosophy, mythology, history, ancient texts, and metaphysics, The Dark Arts of Immortality explains how to harness and augment the energy of our innate drives. Through personal combat, sexual fantasy, and mystic rituals the death drive (mortido), sex drive (libido), and growth drive (physis) can provide doorways to supra-consciousness. These core altered states of being (fury, ecstasy, and exaltation) grant preternatural physical, mental, and spiritual abilities. The synthesis of these attributes will elevate personal power in this world and allow one to manifest a divine Being in the afterlife.
