Description
The Bee Priestess by A. Fisher is a historical fiction novel that explores the complexities of first century Greece through the story of Althaia, a young woman navigating her place in society.
Althaia's life is turned upside down when she falls in love with a Roman soldier, a forbidden relationship that threatens to destroy her family's reputation. In an attempt to save her daughter from this fate, Althaia's mother arranges for her to become a temple priestess at Acrocorinth, where she will be mentored in the healing arts and beekeeping.
As Althaia embarks on this journey, she must confront her own trauma and the challenges of her new role. With the Roman Empire facing a devastating pox pandemic, Althaia finds herself at the forefront of healing and transformation, using the natural world to strengthen both body and soul.
