Red River Vol. 11

Red River Vol. 11

Yuri, a teen of the 21st century, has been transported to ancient Anatolia as part of a scheme by the evil Nakia, Queen of the Hittites. Only the intervention of Nakia’s stepson, Prince Kail, saved Yuri from the Queen’s bloodthirsty intentions. As an unintended consequence, the people of the kingdoms of Anatolia have embraced Yuri as the incarnation of the great war-goddess Ishtar.

Even a goddess has no immunity from persecution when she’s falsely accused of the murder of the Hittite king. Forced to flee to Alinna, Yuri must deal with treachery, abduction by the Egyptian military commander Ramses, and someone’s tragic self-sacrifice. And in the midst of all this turmoil, Yuri’s potent feelings for Prince Kail, ever fraught with uncertainty, are shaken to their very foundations!
