Publisher's Synopsis
The Anani weaves a dark and immersive tale rooted in ancient mythology, vengeance, and celestial conflict. The story follows Astarte, an immortal being who is the demon goddess Lamashtu, wrestles with the ghosts of her past while navigating the ruins of Persepolis. Bound by a tragic history, she seeks redemption for the havoc she once wreaked and the love she lost-her husband, Kashir.
Meanwhile, a dangerous cult, the Anani, whose origins trace back to the vengeance-fueled wrath of Lilith and her monstrous son Leviathan, resurfaces. Their magic, once aimed at toppling the gods themselves, has twisted over time, culminating in a centuries-old vendetta against Lamashtu.
As Astarte uncovers long-buried secrets, she encounters Lucian, a man with an uncanny resemblance to Kashir. Their connection is immediate and electric, stirring memories of a love thought lost to time. However, Lucian's presence is no coincidence-his soul is a reincarnation of Kashir's, and his fate is deeply entangled with the forces at play.
Astarte, plagued by her past and pursued by those who seek her downfall, must unravel the enigmas surrounding the Anani cult, the resurgence of forbidden magic, and her own enduring humanity. Ancient forces awaken, forcing her to confront a truth she's long denied: love and vengeance are intertwined.
