Beschreibung
A reimagining of the Lilith myth beyond the familiar story of refusal and revenge, revealing the roots of the feminine-masculine power dynamic in a startling new understanding of unity.

FIRST CAME LILITH, EQUAL TO ADAM.

In ancient Uruk, High Priestess Lilith heads a sophisticated female-ruled society built on sacred ritual and erotic freedom. Yet beneath this world she is trapped in a profound internal struggle. Haunted by the childhood loss of her brother to a system that demands the servitude and suppression of men and boys, she secretly yearns for civil change. A secret prophecy warns that unchecked male power will one day bring chaos and destruction... a fear her temple uses to justify that very system. Lilith believes balance is the only path forward, a radical vision that tests the fears and beliefs of her priestesshood.

When Adam arrives - a desert gem trader warning of a mounting male-led revolt while speaking of harmony - Lilith acts from the truth in her heart. She extends unprecedented trust across the divide. What follows is a cascade of desire, betrayal and raw human consequence that threatens to erase her name from history, or tarnish it.

Drawn from Sumerian history and the great astrological cycles, I Am Lilith steps far enough back to show the entire pendulum swing between masculine and feminine. It offers a liberating new context for the intimate relationship and societal struggles we still live with today - not by fighting the shadow, but by changing the story itself in ways that startle and shift what is possible.

Perfect for readers of Circe by Madeline Miller, The Red Tent by Anita Diamant, and The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley.
