Cult of the
Cat series blurb
According
to ancient Egyptian prophecy, three feline goddesses—Bastet, Sekhmet, and
Mafdet—would one day be reborn as triplets during a solar eclipse.
But someone—or something—separated them
at birth. Because if ever they were reunited, they would unleash a blistering
power that could destroy the world.
In an adventure where the past confronts
the present, and blood, betrayal and secrets abound, the triplets face each
other for the first time. And discover they’re the only force able to stop the
evil god Apophis from enslaving humanity.
Daughter of
the Sun, Book 1 - blurb
Sixteen-year-old Trinity was born
during a solar eclipse and left at the doorsteps of a convent along with a torn
piece of papyrus covered with ancient symbols. Raised by nuns in the English
countryside, she leads a quiet life until she’s whisked away to the Island of
Cats and a grandmother she never knew.
But before they can get to know each
other, her grandmother dies. All that Trinity has left is a mysterious
eye-shaped ring. And a thousand grieving cats. As Trinity tries to solve the enigma
of the torn papyrus, she discovers a world of bloody sacrifices and evil
curses, and a prophecy that points to her and her new feline abilities.
Unwilling to believe that any of the
Egyptian gods could still be alive, Trinity turns to eighteen-year-old Seth and
is instantly pulled into a vortex of sensations that forces her to confront her
true self—and a horrifying destiny.
My review: Great, fun characters. Trinity is an orphan and lives in a convent util her grandmother comes to get her. She moves to an island full of cats. Strange things start to happen as she learns more about her family history. Trinity is developing cat-like qualities. Mystery. Adventure. I found it hard to put the book down. I look forward to reading book 2. I received this book free for an honest review.
About the Author
A certified bookworm, Zoe Kalo has always been obsessed with books and
reading. Reading led to writing—compulsively. No surprise that at 16, she wrote
her first novel, which her classmates read and passed around secretly. The
pleasure of writing and sharing her fantasy worlds has stayed with her, so now she
wants to pass her stories to you with no secrecy—but with lots of mystery…
A daughter of adventurous expats, she’s had the good fortune of living
on 3 continents, learning 4 languages, and experiencing a multicultural life.
Currently, she’s working on a Master’s degree in Comparative Literature, which she
balances between writing, taking care of her clowder of cats, and searching for
the perfect bottle of pinot noir.
