The final installment of The Maeve Chronicles.

The prequel to The Passion of Mary Magdalen, now in paperback.

For the millions of readers fascinated by Dan Brown's revelations about Mary Magdalen in The Da Vinci Code, here, at last, is their chance to meet the Gospel's most provocative woman face to face-on her own terms.Make way for a new Magdalen. Born on a Celtic isle to eight warrior-witch mothers, Maeve is raised to be as brave as any hero. In her stubborn, enchanting voice, she recounts her perilous quest for the young man, Esus, whose life she once saved from druid sacrifice. Captured and sold to a Roman Madam, Maeve is sustained by a fierce sense of identity, compassion for her sister whores, and her unquenchable love. When she wins her freedom and finds her lost lover, a stormy life begins for both as we follow the Passion story through the eyes of Jesus's partner. By turns feisty and funny, outrageous and tender, this Celtic Mary Magdalen challenges all stereotypes, both old and New Age, and brings us to transforming encounter with the divine feminine made flesh.

Enter the world of a modern fairytale that blends bold biblical midrash with psychological depth and imaginative originality. This classic feminist novel, first released in 1993, remains fresh and timeless. Adam Underwood and Eva Brooke seem perfect for each other: both are single parents and academics—he a charismatic professor of alchemy, she a dedicated professor of fairytales. Their children, Ionia and Fred, share a latchkey after school with Eva's son, Jason. However, despite their compatibility, Eva is left wondering why they haven't married. Struggling with her own pathologically polite nature, she hesitates to ask personal questions, particularly about Adam's children's absent mother, a topic never mentioned by Adam or his outspoken mother, Ursula. Yet, Eva senses the missing woman in Ionia's haunting eyes and her drawings of a wild woman. One night, the wild mother, Lilith, returns, shattering their precarious status quo. As chaos ensues, Adam, obsessed with control, attempts to confine them all. Each character faces a crucial choice: will they embrace their own wildness and the freedom it entails, or will they deny it, risking everything they hold dear?

"The Goddess is returning! She takes shape in the hands of an Episcopal priest's shy wife. She invades the dreams of a grande dame who finds women priests scandalous. She lures a poker-playing ex-convict onto unfamiliar terrain. Meanwhile, a mysterious old man in the wood waits for a sign of Her return. Who is the Goddess? Where has She been for so long? And what does She want from the four human beings whose lives she turns upside down? As Esther, Spencer, Marvin, and Fergus confront these questions, they forge friendships across boundaries of age, class, and race, meanwhile discovering-and recovering-powerful erotic passions. Their encounters lead them deeper into Blackwood, an old estate that shelters an imperiled grove of trees sacred to the Goddess, which becomes their mission to save. The Return of the Goddess, A Divine Comedy marks Cunningham's first exploration of Christianity and the power of a divine feminine-forgotten, obscured, and suppressed by the Church-and takes the reader into the world of Cunningham's origins. Thirty-one years after its first publication, the book remains a classic in what has become a movement to reclaim the Goddess and embody Her return"-- Provided by publisher
