The Seven Children of God - Mord McGhee

"Weirdly uplifting in a time when real politics NEEDS IT!" ~GenX Ziners

Weirdly uplifting? Absolutely. Something strange is stirring, and people everywhere can feel it.

Who is So‑Lar, and how are they connected to the Order of the Solar Temple, the real‑world cult behind shocking crimes in the 1990s? Why do all clues point to one impossible place: an old amusement‑park carousel, glowing with strings of lights and crowded with fantastical creatures: angels, unicorns... and things no one can quite name?

Magic is rising. Mysteries are multiplying.

Seven children are on their way. But who are they? And where are they coming to? Who is the one called Tenerife?

From globe‑trotting agents hunting a dangerous religious movement to a troubled teen dreaming of the world's end, the Seven Children of God are approaching, and it may not matter what anyone believes. Or is belief the only thing that does matter?

From fantasy to politics, and all the complications of modern human beings... at its heart, The Seven Children of God is a philosophical odyssey: a meditation on belief, coexistence, and the fragile magic of being human. The narrative unfolds across borders and ideologies, asking readers to interpret the meaning of the "Seven Children" for themselves. As the plot unravels, so do the characters, each confronting truths that are more (or less) than they seem. The novel invites readers into a world where vulnerability is power, and imperfection is sacred.

"For fans of the summer thriller, this is for you and your book club. It goes beyond international espionage and intrigue, as it binds together the weakest links of humanity using its strongest. McGhee once again proves his mastery of the psychological thriller, embedding religion, politics, and the supernatural in wildly unexpected ways." ~Thrillscope
