The Daughters of Bast : Shrine of Light
Sarah Isidore
Eos, July 2000
ISBN: 0-380-80319-4 (paperback)
The world is changing. A new religion is sweeping across the land of the Celts and its followers will
abide no rival gods. For the young priestess, Damona--the latest of Veleda's line--the struggle
intensifies to keep Bast's holy traditions alive and to resist the seductions of Sekhmet, who no longer
has worshippers of her own.
But defying the lion-headed deity may take a will stronger than
Damona possesses. And when all that was once hers is ripped away, the gentle priestess is driven to
seek a cold and brutal vengenance. Hers is a path that will bring misery to many--yet it will
ultimately impel a chastened Damona to seek redemption in an exotic land, lest winter, blight, and
darkness eternally plague her beloved home of Eire.
