Synopsis
Endless Things brings the AEgypt Cycle to its conclusion, following Pierce Moffett as the threads of his long personal and scholarly project, tracing historical shifts in the rules governing reality and their connection to Renaissance Hermetic philosophy, continue to develop against the backdrop of his life in the Faraway Hills. Building on the discoveries and relationships established across the earlier volumes, including his research into the reclusive novelist's papers and his entanglement with Rosie Ryder and the wider cast introduced over the series, the final book carries Pierce's decades-spanning inquiry toward its resolution, drawing together the historical and personal strands that have run through the cycle since Pierce first arrived in the countryside.
