Jewel of the Moon

Read Jewel of the Moon Storyline:

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.
