      London im ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert: In einem der verruchtesten Viertel der Stadt wird eine Prostituierte grausam ermordet. Die königliche Familie bittet die junge Adlige Sarah Kincaid um Hilfe: Ein Neffe der Königin steht unter Verdacht, hinter der Mordserie im Stadtteil White Chapel zu stecken. Sarah willigt nur widerstrebend ein. Wie sich herausstellt, sind die Privaträume des Mannes angefüllt mit ägyptischen Relikten, und es zeigt sich, dass er der Vorsitzende einer Gesellschaft von Gentlemen ist, die sich der Erforschung altägyptischer Geheimnisse gewidmet haben. Der königliche Neffe scheint unter Wahnvorstellungen zu leiden und spricht fortwährend von einer ägyptischen Gottheit, die zurückkehren wird - aber ist er ein kaltblütiger Mörder? Die Spur führt Sarah bis nach Ägypten, wo ein uraltes Geheimnis auf sie wartet ...

      Civilization doesn't end with a bang or a whimper. It ends with a call on your cell phone. What happens on the afternoon of October 1 came to be known as the Pulse, a signal sent though every operating cell phone that turns its user into something...well, something less than human. Savage, murderous, unthinking-and on a wanton rampage. Terrorist act? Cyber prank gone haywire? It really doesn't matter, not to the people who avoided the technological attack. What matters to them is surviving the aftermath. Before long a band of them-"normies" is how they think of themselves-have gathered on the grounds of Gaiten Academy, where the headmaster and one remaining student have something awesome and terrifying to show them on the school's moonlit soccer field. Clearly there can be no escape. The only option is to take them on.

      Millions of years ago, a meteorite fell to earth and a beautiful blue stone shattered from it. One hundred thousand years ago, a girl named Tall One found the crystal on the African plain---and it formed her destiny, as well as the destiny of generations to come. From ancient Israel to imperial Rome, medieval England, fifteenth-century Germany, the eighteenth-century Caribbean, and the nineteenth-century American West, the destiny of the stone and the history of the world unfold. Each story is full of the betrayals and obsessions of the human heart, and the quests of the human spirit. In "The Blessing Stone," Barbara Wood has both told the intimate details of her characters' lives and created a sense of the epic sweep of human history.
