A girl. A goddess. A question that will cost everything.
1913 Crimea. Thirteen-year-old Oksana Mangupli enters the legendary cavern of blue light and answers an ancient calling from a forgotten goddess.
Born into a Krymchak family bound by duty, honor, and obedience, Oksana is expected to marry, obey, and disappear into the life chosen for her. Instead, she is drawn into a secret world of Romanov exiles, Bolshevik terror, occult expeditions, ancient bloodlines, and a divine feminine mystery hidden beneath recorded history.
From the polar north to Moscow to the Black Sea, Oksana will search for Her truth.
As revolution tears Russia apart, she is haunted by Zoran Murometz - a man of terrifying power who will destroy everything she loves to take the truth she carries.
The man she believes fate has chosen for her will become the reason she must question everything.
Because the goddess did not give Oksana just a mission.
She gave her a question.
What is love?
The answer will cost everything.
The Matriarch Mission is a mythic historical novel of love, sacrifice, and the divine feminine. Set against the fall of Imperial Russia and the rise of Bolshevik power, it blends Romanov-era history, mysticism, ancient legend, forbidden love, and sacred feminine mystery into the origin story of the award-winning Mystery of the Matriarchs saga.
Perfect for readers who believe history is hiding something:
- Romanov shadows, Bolshevik terror, and the sacred secrets both wanted to destroy
- A destined love forged in revolution - and the sacrifice it demands
- A forgotten goddess, alive in the blue light of a hidden cavern
- A fierce young woman whose choices will shape an entire saga
For readers drawn to the historical sweep of Kate Quinn and the mystical feminine worlds of Alice Hoffman, The Matriarch Mission is the perfect entry point into Maxime Trencavel's award-winning Mystery of the Matriarchs series.
