The Second Coming of the Star Gods

by Page Bryant

Set amidst the haunting, mysterious beauty of Ancient Egypt, The Second Coming of the Star Gods is an epic tale of magic, political intrigue, and mythology. Rich in historical and mystical detail, the story centers on Khem and Tiye, two young apprentice priestesses in the Temple of the Sun. As the girls are initiated into the secret arts of dream interpretation, astronomy, and astral travel, a battle for the great empire's throne is being waged between the Pharaoh and his half-brother--a battle in which the young apprentices will unwittingly play the decisive role. Engaging and hypnotic, The Second Coming of the Star Gods creates characters and a world so real you won't want to soon leave.

Very sweet historical fiction. Does a great job incorporating ancient Egyptian cosmology. I found the story tedious at times and think it could have been told with less words and more impact. I still enjoyed the read.
