Sophia and Cassius
An epic blend of fantasy, time travel, and ancient history, following a woman's journey across millennia—from the dawn of civilization to imperial Rome—in a tale of love, destiny, and the battle between good and evil.
Fantasy, time travel, reincarnation, war, and romance in an ancient historical setting! Explore a captivating retelling of well-known stories in Sophia and Cassius, a novel by Anna Canic. Weaving a tapestry of religious, philosophical, and esoteric themes, this gripping story throws new insight into the lost paradise and the fall of ancient civilizations.
Meet Sophia, the first woman—one of strength, intelligence, willpower, and kindness. Sophia, the one who has given the world the gift of writing, is terribly in need of love. But her quest for the ideal partner takes a different turn, involving death, three millennia, and a rebirth as the Roman princess Julia Drusilla.
However, the story goes beyond just a simple love tale. Sophia is thrown into the role of leading an epic battle between Good and Evil in her newfound existence. With the help of friends from many backgrounds, bold Drusilla unravels schemes and exposes the deceptions of the enemy.
A fascinating cast of biblical and historical characters, such as Mary Magdalene, Seneca, and Boudicca, are introduced in the story. Julia Drusilla breaks the stereotype of suffragettes while honouring the feminine ideal. Her natural order and inner revolutionary spirit create a complex picture that defies simple labels.
In addition to time travel, Anna Canic's book offers an in-depth look at love, bravery, and the never-ending conflict between good and evil as seen through the eyes of a wonderful woman throughout history.
