The Queen Of Gods

Hathor’s story

Quest of the goddess:
Hathor has gotten bored although she’s loath to admit it. Since people have stopped believing in the gods she’s had not much to do, this changes one day when Ma’at comes to her part of the temple complex and asks for a favor. Seth is plotting again and Ma’at asks Hathor to bring her consorts into the fold. Hathor is irritated and intrigued in likely equal measure. As none of the four gods has ever truly been her consort just something that people assumed of them. Nonetheless she’s sets off on her reluctant mission to find Horus, Khonsu, Atum and Amun. Soon after she starts one of her temple is desecrated by Seth and so her reluctance turns to resolve. Seth must be stopped for the good of all and so she finds these men and sets on bringing them in.
Fictionalized history with a hint of romance. I loved the first part of this trilogy about Hathor and her not consorts. This ends on a cliffhanger as it is book one of three and it’s a bit heartbreaking and infuriating for Hathor. As a huge fan of anything that involves Ancient Egypt be it fiction or non fiction this book was a winner for me. Even if you’re not necessarily into the topic the plotting and nuances of the characters makes for a fascinating story and this is just the beginning. I am eager to see what is next in Hathor’s story.

Trust of the goddess:
With the betrayal fresh Hathor is trying to regroup and regain her equilibrium. She has to tell Ma’at that all is not as planned but she’s reluctant to do so. When one of the gods is kidnapped and Hathor being a tangential target again of Seth she and the rest of the gods must move from planning to action. But are things all they appear to be or is the god of chaos laying a trap? No matter which they won’t abandon one of their own to the likes of Seth so they set off on a rescue mission. Seth’s plans are far more devious than they would’ve imagined and Hathor is fearful for what this could portend. And yet there’s no other choice because letting chaos rule isn’t a choice at all.
Book two really ramps up the tension in preparation for the conclusion to the trilogy. Lots of action. Lots of surprise twists. Even a growing star crossed love story. Equal parts anxious and excited to see how Hathor’s story ends!

Heart of the goddess:
The time has come for the confrontation between balance and chaos. Hathor bravely volunteers to go back intro enemy territory as bait so the plan to end Seth’s power grab can be put into motion.
A love story, an ending, a beginning and an ongoing battle that was put on pause with the capture of a chaos deity. An excellent wrap up to the story of Hathor.
