| Publisher Description: In the hoary myths of time out of mind, there is the legend of a vengeful warrior queen, an Ethiopian queen, who conquered a kingdom and radically changed the course of world history. Ethiopia, as the land of the earliest human beings, has been critical to this species development. As such, what Queen Isat accomplished was huge. But did she achieve anything? Did she actually exist? Was she the cruel savage she was purported to be by Christians of the tenth century in northeastern Africa? Did she lay waste to Christians and their churches slaughter Aksumite princes and establish her own unique dynasty, the Zagwe. The Zagwe were real. Was she as their founder? A young woman, Sarah, of present day Seattle stumbles into the clutches of exactly this period of Ethiopian history. Her father is white and American while her mother is black and Ethiopian. A young woman, Sarah, of present day Seattle stumbles into the clutches of exactly this period of Ethiopian history. Her father is white and American while her mother is black and Ethiopian. Sarah has graduated college and is prepping for law school boards when a maelstrom of events moves her into treacherous spaces and alien places. An idiosyncratic and totally unexpected world is created in Eyes of a Pagan Queen. The tapestry blends the fraught and suspenseful with accurate and vivid history as well as heated erotic encounters and characters that are deeply three dimensional. |
