A Mythic Historical Novel of Love, Sacrifice, and the Divine Feminine

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

A girl. A goddess. A question that will cost everything.

In Romanov-era Crimea, a Krymchak girl enters the legendary cavern of blue light and receives a mission from a forgotten goddess.

As revolution tears Russia apart, Oksana Mangupli is drawn from the polar north to Moscow to the Black Sea in search of Her truth. Haunted by a man of terrifying power and bound to a love that may become her greatest trial, Oksana must carry a question no empire, lover, or faith can answer:

What is love?

The answer will cost everything.

For readers of Kate Quinn and Alice Hoffman—from the award-winning author of The Matriarch Messiah and The Matriarch Matrix.

Perfect for readers who believe history is hiding something.

The Matriarch Mission is a historical speculative novel of forbidden love, Bolshevik terror, sacred history, and the divine feminine mystery behind the award-winning Mystery of the Matriarchs saga.

What people are saying...

"A richly layered narrative blending historical fiction with speculative mysticism."

Author

Who am I? I'm someone you'd meet somewhere pondering the meaning of the moment. Someone who brings to the party the perspectives of having walked the streets of Brussels' Turkish and Kurdish quarters, the ancient crossroads of Mediterranean cities, across the USA and South America to Australia and Asia. I bring to our discussion—whether from my mouth or from my fingers an introspective look at cultures across the globe, and the stories history keeps trying to bury.

The Mystery of the Matriarchs is my attempt to put those dialogues into story lines. These are not genre novels. They are a parable of our times—unforgettable epic stories in mythic literary speculative fiction, driven entirely by the emotional cores of the women who carry them across millennia. Women chosen by a force older than recorded history, erased by the civilizations that followed, and absolutely refusing to stay erased.
