Wisdom’s Daughter
Buy the book from:
Ayesha narrates her own life before the events of She, describing an Arabian youth marked by beauty, learning, danger and an intense desire for wisdom. Her journeys bring her to ancient Egypt, where she becomes entangled with the Greek priest Kallikrates and Amenartas, the Pharaoh’s jealous daughter.
Love, rivalry and the search for immortality carry Ayesha toward Kôr and the act that will bind her to centuries of waiting. By giving the immortal queen her own voice, the final Ayesha novel recasts familiar events as a dynastic and spiritual tragedy shaped by ambition, possessiveness and the cost of transcending death.
