Overview

In a time before gods ruled India, the Mother--A Sacred Fig--stood guard over a small village in the Indus Valley. During a catastrophic storm, the Mother is struck down, undermining the Shaman's leadership over Ganweriwala and igniting religious rivalries. Stakes escalate when Lakshmi, an outsider, is declared the Incarnated Mother and dragged into their conflict. She inadvertently awakens an embittered cosmic entity that threatens to consume the entire valley. Unless she can harness her energy, the humanity she came to experience will become the species she destroys.

Author Information

JL Gilliland has a Master's degree in Community Counseling from Ohio University, and a Master's degree in Organizational Performance and Workplace learning from Boise State University. She works part-time as an Instructional Designer, while squeezing in time to write between her responsibilities as a wife, a mother of three adult daughters, and an avid gardener. The author has been researching ancient South Asia civilizations and Hindu mythology since 2003, convinced there was an epic tale laying there, waiting to be written. That research culminated in The Descent of Lakshmi, a novel that weaves an ancient civilization with regional myths and social issues that are pertinent even today.
