Set in Classical-era Crete, The Rose Temple follows Pathyjose, a young priestess devoted to the worship of Aphrodite. Her life is one of sacred duty - guiding others through the dimensions of devotion - until a forbidden spark of desire threatens to unravel everything she has been taught to hold sacred.
What follows is a transformative journey from sacred duty, through forbidden passion, to a reclaimed life of authentic desire and self-created purpose.
This is a story about love that dares to transgress, the courage to choose your own path, and the quiet rebellion of reclaiming your life in a world that demands obedience.
Christin Marie's prose is sensual, sensory, and deeply resonant, weaving myth, mysticism, and the inner landscapes of the heart into a story that feels both ancient and urgently modern.
