Aegypt

Pierce Moffett, a jilted and jobless historian, flees to the rural New England countryside seeking solace and inspiration for a radical new book. His audacious theory posits that the fundamental laws of the universe once differed, allowing for magic and wonder to govern existence, and that these ancient powers might resurface. Not in the well-known ancient world, but in a mythical, hieroglyph-rich civilization he calls 'Aegypt.' This pursuit leads him to the mysterious, locked estate of Fellowes Kraft, a historical romance author whose own esoteric writings seem to hold a key to this hidden knowledge. As Pierce delves deeper into Kraft's archives, he encounters Rosie Rasmussen, another soul drawn by loss and a shared yearning for a profound, forgotten truth. Together, they embark on a metaphysical quest to unravel the secrets of 'Aegypt,' exploring the porous boundaries between history, myth, and reality, and seeking the fulfillment of humanity's most ancient and unanswerable desires within a world poised on the brink of re-enchantment.
