Isis of Egypt: Goddess of Thrones

Praise for Isis of Egypt:
“I only meant to glance at the first few pages, but this captivating retelling of the Isis myth proved irresistible. With a marvelous grasp of historical detail and a keen eye for the complicated bonds between the gods, this novel is a richly imagined journey into the world of Isis and a fascinating, deeply human portrait of a goddess. A powerful reimagining of one of the most enduring stories ever told.”
—Stephanie Dray, New York Times bestselling author of Lily of the Nile

“A truly memorable, inherently fascinating, and thoroughly entertaining read from start to finish, Isis of Egypt: Goddess of Thrones by Malayna Evans is a deftly crafted feminist retelling about the female Egyptian goddess behind one of the ancient world’s most widespread and enduring cults.”
—Midwest Book Review

“The epic love of the married Isis and Osiris drives the narrative … [and] her human connections and interactions are the stand-out scenes.”
—Historical Novel Society

“Isis of Egypt: Goddess of Thrones is a narrative rich in emotional depth, with intriguing conflicts and characters across the Egyptian pantheon. Evans’ passion for Egyptian mythology is unmistakable in her rendering of Egypt’s gods and goddesses. Having very little knowledge about Isis before reading this book, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Evans has portrayed a powerful goddess of magic, with a steadfast ambition and ardent devotion to the ones she loves. Evans’ Isis felt real and relatable and not just another lofty, disconnected deity–a characterization offering the kind of clarity and depth which undeniably reveals why Isis has remained at the forefront of religious devotion and intellectual discussion for millennia.”
—MJ Pankey, author of Epic of Helinthia
