Maggie Shayne's Young Rhiannon in the Temple of Isis (Wings in the Night Book 19)

I am Rhiannon.

This is my origin story.

My original name was Rhianikki, firstborn of Pharaoh. My bare feet sank into the sands of Egypt when the pyramids were new. My mother was a divine queen who died giving birth to me and they say the walls of the palace trembled when they took me, wailing, from her cold arms.

I was special and not just by virtue of my inherent divinity.

But rather than honor my gifts, my father feared them. And when I was five years old, he and his new queen sent me far away from their newborn twin sons, to live at the Temple of Isis, where I learned and grew and became the woman I still am, more than three thousand years later.

That temple is where I was raised, by holy women who taught me the secrets of the gods and of the goddesses and all the ways of magic.

There I met Luca, a father figure like my own had never been, who could only visit me by night and who said we were related in a way I would not understand until I was older.

During those years, I rescued stolen children; I answered women’s prayers; I helped artists find their calling; I caused a poor, small village to thrive, and I saw the face of my beloved in the glass-like crystal ball of a prophet.

I communed with Isis nightly and became convinced she lived within me, that my soul was divine.

That assumption has never left me.

What people are saying…

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “If you could only pick two words to describe this tale they’d be fascinating and enthralling. The tale of the young princess given away because her father the Pharaoh and his new wife feared her and wanted their new sons to reign. We see her grow and learn and never lose sight of who and what she is. What a true queen is. Dedicated to her people, to protect and serve and make sure that their lives are as good as they can be. Rare, unique and incorrigible is our Rhiannon. This story weaves a fascinating tale that seamlessly blends elements of history, fantasy and supernatural. I absolutely loved it and cannot wait to read more stories in this universe!” ~ Reviewer

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “As always and expected when reading Maggie Shayne you are lost in the story wanting to know what happens next, some of course expected for anyone who read Wings In the Night stories with the character of Rhiannon since she was always true to who she was, staying true to character so some outcome known we know she survives thrives yet the story, and story telling was so well done you kept reading to learn not only where it might go, but to learn who she was and how she developed to be the adult of such power. A must read for anyone who likes the Wings in the Night series and for those who don't know it if reading this first you are warned you'll want to read the whole series for those books that have Rhiannon in them, and discover that you enjoy all of them.” ~ Reviewer
