Centraal staat de botsing tussen religies in Engeland aan het einde van de 5de eeuw. Heidenen en Christenen staan met getrokken wapens tegenover elkaar, maar ook de godin Isis speelt nog een rol.

Met de tovenaar Merlijn aan zijn zijde maakt hij misschien een kans om het recht te doen zegevieren… maar vergist hij zich niet in de rol van de magiër? Het Engeland van de 6de eeuw is één grote chaos.

She writes of the powerful, temperamental deities called the Orishas; of the founding of Yorubaland by the shrewd leader Oduduwa; of the young heroine Eve, born in a time of violence and despair, who would help her people regain their past splendor; and of shimmering serpents and monstrous shadows who stalk the lands of mortals.

Eros is a stunning collection of short stories, grounded in truth and coloured with dazzling imagination and alluring unpredictable mystery. Revealing how queerness, nature and myth have been intertwined for eternity, these are stories of gods and goddesses: of Zeus, of Eurydice, of Hermaphroditus, of Icarus before he flew into the sun. Stories of queer life, lust, revenge, wrath, passion and sex. Of yearning, love, loss. Some stories span across a life, and others, an evening. Perspectives will shift. Houses will burn. Lovers will learn their fate.
