📕About the book:
The Rose Temple is a radiant feminist romantasy novelette, inspired by the goddess-centred traditions of the Bronze Age Aegean yet set in Classical-era Crete – a time when goddess reverence lingers as a quiet testament within a world already being reshaped by patriarchy. It follows a priestess’s transformative journey from sacred duty, through forbidden passion and heartbreak, to a reclaimed life of authentic desire and self-created purpose.

📇About the author:
Christin Marie (@christin.marie.writer) is a London-based novelist and poet whose work weaves mysticism, myth, and the inner landscapes of the heart.
