A mythic fantasy story of gods, mortals, and forbidden love.
Before Sahira. Before the Covenant. There was Naga... Naga: The goddess of water, who left the realm of the gods to live among mortals for a thousand-year wager... and fell in love with a mortal prince. The gods grew jealous. And forced her to make a devastating choice...
Inspired by South Asian mythology, and the legends of divine Nagas and Naginis, The River Goddess is a mythological fantasy of gods and mortals, feminine rebellion, and transformation, set generations before Sahira's story begins in The River's Daughter.
For readers who love: gods and mortals mythology, forbidden love with tragic stakes, powerful, morally complex heroines, mythic tales centering feminine rage, and South Asian fantasy and mythology.
This standalone novella can be read on its own, or as the origin story of the River Bakki's power in The River's Daughter.
