Return to Isis
Jean Stewart
It is the year 2093. In this fantasy zone where sword and superstition meet sci-fi adventure, two women make a daring escape to freedom. Whit, a bold woman warrior from an Amazon nation, rescues Amelia from a dismal world where females are either breeders or drones. Together they journey over grueling terrain to the shining world of Artemis, and in their struggle to survive, find themselves unexpectedly drawn to each other. Whit brings Amelia to live in a world divided. Their enemies live in Elysium, on one side of the electro-magnetic Border, where men reign as Procurators and Reverends, descendants of early 21st Century power elites and those who aped them; on the other side live the Freelanders, whose democratic city-colonies are inclusive of women, minorities, and lesbians, and there they have established a safe haven for social progress. But it is in the safety of Artemis, Whit’s home colony of Freeland Warriors, that danger truly lurks. For beneath Amelia’s haunting dreams hides a secret which cannot be allowed to surface: a secret of Isis, the colony mysteriously destroyed ten years earlier. And in the ruins of Isis is the ghost of a fallen Leader who has been waiting for Amelia’s return.
Full of high adventure, mystery, love, and excitement, this book kicks off the Isis Series in high style.
