Love is transformation. Ishtar finds a man who turns lead into gold, but he disappears mysteriously. She looks for him violating all rules, until she discovers that she herself is the key. Everything depends on whether and how she carries out a terrible assignment. Love, world peace, and her own conscience are at stake.
"This delicately intricate work provides a full dance card of themes: sex, romance, mystery and a grim peek into a devastated future... Touches of wry humor reinforce an already sturdy novel... A virtuosic, erotic sci-fi debut." --Kirkus Reviews
"...despite its steamy tone, it is, in fact, a thoughtful work of philosophy – not vulgarity – that explores and humanises the universality of love, justice, faith and consequentiality." --Self Publishing Magazine
"The wonderful and powerful imagination of the author brings all the characters and the situations they find themselves in very real and believable... All in all a wonderful story and one that I will read again in the future." --The Scribes Library
"A novel that can teach us how to rebel against the colonisation of the mind." --Bert Olivier, Thought Leader
"Compelling stuff, getting better as the book goes on, and a brilliant way to end the book too." --YeahYeahNoh, top 1000 Amazon reviewer
"This book is absolutely amazing. It took me a couple of chapters to get into it, but once I did I could not put it down, I was simply absorbed by it and it was in my head even when I was not reading it... Yes, there is lots of sex in it. And sometimes it is more bizarre than anything, but this is because sex in this book isn't simply sex... We see the battle of love/sex vs. hate/violence, the manipulation of society by the media, the control by politics, the question of whether what we hear is reality and if the lies we are told benefit us... I also would like to mention author's brilliant narrating style. The words used bring the depth, the atmosphere, the juiciness, the feelings, the excitement. It is absolutely beautiful... A huge applause to the first time author, she truly created a masterpiece." --Ira Therebel, Goodreads
The cover is based on the painting Scandal, by the artist Karina Vagradova.
