Daughter of the Sun, Book 1 - blurb
Sixteen-year-old Trinity was born
during a solar eclipse and left at the doorsteps of a convent along with a torn
piece of papyrus covered with ancient symbols. Raised by nuns in the English
countryside, she leads a quiet life until she’s whisked away to the Island of
Cats and a grandmother she never knew.
But before they can get to know each
other, her grandmother dies. All that Trinity has left is a mysterious
eye-shaped ring. And a thousand grieving cats. As Trinity tries to solve the
enigma of the torn papyrus, she discovers a world of bloody sacrifices and evil
curses, and a prophecy that points to her and her new feline abilities.
Unwilling to believe that any of the
Egyptian gods could still be alive, Trinity turns to eighteen-year-old Seth and
is instantly pulled into a vortex of sensations that forces her to confront her
true self—and a horrifying destiny.

About the
Author
A certified bookworm, Zoe
Kalo has always been obsessed with books and reading. Reading led to
writing—compulsively. No surprise that at 16, she wrote her first novel, which her
classmates read and passed around secretly. The pleasure of writing and sharing
her fantasy worlds has stayed with her, so now she wants to pass her stories to
you with no secrecy—but with lots of mystery…
A daughter of adventurous
expats, she’s had the good fortune of living on 3 continents, learning 4
languages, and experiencing a multicultural life. Currently, she’s working on a
Master’s degree in Comparative Literature, which she balances between writing,
taking care of her clowder of cats, and searching for the perfect bottle of
pinot noir.
