Leo Vincey inherits a family mystery linking his ancestry to the ancient priest Kallikrates and a woman who has waited for his return for two thousand years. With his guardian Horace Holly, he travels through East Africa to the hidden realm of Kôr, where Ayesha rules by beauty, fear and claims of immortality.
The expedition becomes a Gothic meditation on desire, empire, death and the danger of absolute power. Ruined Kôr supplies a deep invented past, while Ayesha’s memories of the ancient Mediterranean blur adventure fiction with historical fantasy and tragic romance.
