For the Love of Philae
Buy the book from:
In sixth-century Egypt, the old cult of Isis at Philae survives under increasing pressure from Christian and Byzantine authority. The novel follows those who remain attached to the island sanctuary as the world that sustained Egyptian temple religion disappears around them. It is a story about devotion, cultural ending and the last fragile persistence of ancient ritual in late antiquity.
