📝 Description: The Ennead

Richard Mosses presents a narrative where psychic terror strikes the globe in a single night. Alien abductions, demon torture, and faery glamour cause mass casualties while one percent of the population becomes shaman. These intercessors bridge the spirit world and humanity under duress. Four lives collide amid this chaos. Kel Rodrigues, an unemployed artist, learns the shamanic way. His sister, Dr. Jen Rodrigues, manages a psychic research institute during a mental health crisis. Lethe, a stage-show medium, escapes the spirit world after being lured by Atumhotep. Harry Wallace, framed for a terror attack in Edinburgh, uncovers corruption within Britain's espionage community. Together they confront The Ennead, the Ancient Egyptian Gods who have coveted Earth for millennia. Mosses draws on Egyptian mythology and modern conspiracy tropes to structure this tale of global threat. Readers seeking grounded historical nonfiction may find the supernatural elements jarring. Fans of urban fantasy with mythological roots will appreciate the collision of ancient deities with contemporary espionage.
