H. Rider Haggard

She: Wisdom's Daughter: The Life and Love Story of She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed

In "She: Wisdom's Daughter," H. Rider Haggard returns to his most magnificent creation, the immortal Ayesha, to tell her own story in her own words. This novel serves as a prequel to the original "She," detailing the early life of the priestess who would become the all-powerful ruler of Kôr. The narrative begins with her youth as a princess in ancient Arabia, where she is known as Ayesha, a woman of surpassing beauty and formidable intellect. It follows her passionate and tragic love for Kallikrates, a handsome Greek priest, and the bitter jealousy of the Egyptian princess Amenartas that leads to his murder. Driven by vengeance and an unquenchable desire to reclaim her lost love, Ayesha embarks on a transformative journey of occult study and ruthless ambition. She discovers the secret of the Pillar of Life and travels to the lost city of Kôr in Africa, where she bathes in the mystical Fire of Life, gaining immortality and unimaginable power, but at a terrible cost. H. Rider Haggard uses this narrative to delve deeply into the character of Ayesha, exploring the origins of her wisdom, her tyranny, her loneliness, and the obsessive love that has defined her existence for two thousand years. It is the epic, tragic origin story of She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed.
