Some Thoughts on The God's Eye, by Anna Butller.

The God's Eye by Anna Butler

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The Lancaster's Luck trilogy has a satisfactory ending indeed. Rafe Lancaster, now First Heir to House Stravaigor, is adjusting to his new role. His father is ill, and so when his lover, Ned Winter goes off to Aegypt for the 1902-03 archaeological digging season, he can't. Rafe misses Ned terribly and wishes his lover, fascinated with the "strange Antikythera mechanism--linked to the Aegyptian god, Thoth--heads south to the "emote, unexplored highlands of Abyssinia."

Ned doesn't return at Christmas. No one has heard from. The Straviagor, Ned's father, is dying. Rafe has no heir. Other forces are interested. Will good prevail? Can Ned be found, their love protected?

The Egyptian and archaeological details are rich, as are the details of this alternate reality. The conflict, and what is a stake, could change the world forever. And at the heart of this, a love story.
