An enthralling tale of a past life in ancient Egypt, as Tiya, a beautiful young woman’s extraordinary life, enduring love, lies and betrayal. Tiya, becoming a high priestess in ancient Egyptian, a time full of rituals and beliefs, when male dominance was all-powerful, captivating the readers’ imagination with every descriptive passage in this book.
The story compels the reader to turn every page with excited anticipation of the next harrowing or ethereal event, through tragic deaths, entwined to eventual marvellous rebirth into this modern era.
The awakening of present-day new life, connections to the tormented past, experiences relived, but now stepping forward with understanding, hope and clarity. The way forward, finding true love and life purpose.
I enjoyed this book and read it twice as I was intrigued by the research that must have gone into creating such vivid details of ancient Egyptian life in Thebes. Many enchanting incidents of descriptive history, like the mesmerising isle of death. One particular example that stays in my thoughts is the passage about an embalming ritual! I dare you to read it and not smell the scene, feel the intensity of the act. Likewise Tiya’s cruel fate.
A good read with a fascinating history lesson on ancient Egypt.
