Until Adam decides Lilith should submit to his will and lie beneath him. She refuses—and is banished forever from Paradise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDemonized and sidelined, Lilith watches in fury as God creates Eve, the woman who accepts her submission. But Lilith has a secret: she has already tasted the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. Endowed with Wisdom, she knows why Asherah—God’s wife and equal, the Queen of Heaven—is missing. Lilith has a plan: she will rescue Eve, find Asherah, restore balance to the world, and regain her rightful place in Paradise. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLilith’s quest for justice drives her throughout history, from the ziggurats of Ancient Sumer, to the court of Israel’s Queen Jezebel, and to the side of a radical preacher in Roman Judea. Noah’s wife, Norea, Jezebel and Mary Magdalene all play their part in Lilith’s enlightenment. In the modern age, as she observes the catastrophic consequences of a world built on inequality, Lilith finally understands what must be done to correct the wrong done to women—and all humankind—at the beginning of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspired by ancient myths and suppressed scriptures, Lilith is a thought-provoking and ambitious novel with an evocative literary voice and a triumphantly engaging heroine.\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eLilith\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Stellar . . .
