Egypt, 8000 years ago. The gods walk among men as titans, powerful beings with passions that move mountains, fix stars in the heavens, and master the forces of life and death. Within this world, the evil god Set betrays and murders his brother Osiris, king of rich and respected Abydos. Set steals all that Osiris had, including the queen, Isis, the goddess of life and beauty. Isis escapes her monstrous conqueror and bends her powers toward finding her love and bringing him back from death. But, like all gods, Isis is trapped despite her power, for she can never go beyond the limits of her nature. For that, she needs the assistance of man.
In the course of this quest, kingdoms fall, armies clash, and the balance of power between gods and men is altered forever. Who holds power in such cataclysmic conflict? Is it those who define power, or those who define themselves?
Isis Wept eBook Stephan Michael Loy
Isis Wept is a story of gods and mortals. The gods possess many powers over the very nature of the world around them, and humans have benefited under the benevolent reign of Osiris and Isis, but that reign is about to come to an end.This may be a story about gods, but even more powerful than that, this is a story about humanity. The gods command the tale, but the most reliable, steady thread woven through this tapestry is Qebera, a mortal man from Osiris's honor guard, who is charged with an important task as the reign of Osiris is tested by his brother Set's treachery.
This is such an exciting, intricate story, with wonderful characters. Also, the author clearly spent a great deal of time researching ancient Egypt in order to bring us into as realistic a setting as possible. Isis Wept is for any fan of mythology or fantasy who has a taste for a darkly told tale.

Isis Wept eBook Stephan Michael Loy Reviews
ISIS WEPT is a reimagining of the myth of the death of Osiris. Stephan Loy's story takes us back to pre-dynastic Egypt when the gods lived on the Nile and mingled with their human followers. The main conflict revolves around the capricious storm-god Set's plan to eliminate his brother Osiris and take over his lands and possess Osiris's wife, Isis. However, it's more than just a tale of gods. It's a tale about us mortals and how we find meaning in our lives in the midst of life's chaos.
Loy's characters--both mortal and divine--are a treat. And as the story reached its climax, so did this reader's emotional connection with the world Loy evoked, and with his characters. Loy's story will appeal to anyone who has lost a loved one, or who has wondered about their place and purpose in life, and with anyone who just enjoys a good story about the world as it maybe have been thousands of years ago.
This story is beautifully written. The author does a wonderful job bringing the myth of Egyptian gods to life. I hope to read many more novels regarding Isis's tale from this author.
i would like to know more regarding Hathor's back story as I have not heard of her being so vengeful. I felt her character was more closely related to that of Sekhmet. Never the less, a wonderful read! Enjoy!
I downloaded the sample thinking that this wasn't going to be that good of a book... I wound up buying the full book after 10 pages. I'd love to see more of this story by this author.
Enjoyed this interpretation of ancient Egyptian religion
I look forward to the next installment
I hope that the next one will live up to the hype
The characters are brought to life with all their arrogance and petty differences. As old as they are, the gods are still evolving and are thrown into circumstances that test their very mettle. This is an exciting story with plenty of action. If you enjoy the stories of ancient Egypt, this book is for you. I'm looking forward to new stories.
A really fantastic fantasy epic about the gods of Egypt and how their lives effect the people around them. I love tales spun from mythology, so if that is your cup of tea I can't recommend this book enough. The gods live and love powerfully, and their natures are bound to the parts they are destined to play. Men, however, aren't tied to such fates and can use their free will for the better, to help serve and protect the gods (and goddesses) they love. The story in that is a powerful one, and the story of "Isis Wept" is really compelling. Loy creates a rich and realistic world and characters you cheer for, weep for, and hate (as you're supposed to).
I had a chance to read this novel in rough draft form awhile ago. When I had heard Steve was self publishing his works the first question I asked him was `Where is Isis Wept?`
The story is, in my opinion, like American Gods. Only in ancient egypt. You get to see the gods being gods and the mortal men and women interacting with the world. This is perhaps my favorite story by this author and I`m happy to see it in digital format.
I would recommend a reaad if you are into mythology, love or revenge stories.
