Its translator discovers that while in Central Asia, Holly convinced the immortal Ayesha, also known as She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed, to write her story - and this is the book they have found. Ayesha, born the daughter of a sheikh in the 4th century BCE, has no interest in the arranged marriage expected of her. She wants power and position of her own. Led by a vision to believe she is the daughter of Isis, she studies esoteric wisdom under the tutelage of the mystic Noot, but her beauty and intelligence make her a constant target in a world where women are still considered little better than possessions. To survive, she must rely on her wits (and perhaps a little divine intervention) in a series of daring escapes and desperate schemes, finding allies where she can. But as she climbs higher in the service of her goddess, a fateful meeting with the warrior-turned-priest Kallikrates leads her down a road even she would never have imagined. The fourth and final book in the She series. - Summary by Jennie Hughes]]></description><atom:link href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/6987934/episodes/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><language>en</language><category>Books</category><copyright>Copyright Action&amp;Adventure Fiction Genre</copyright><image><url>https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/896035af746efd60b99227ff68aad3fe.jpg</url><title>Wisdom's Daughter</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wisdom-s-daughter--6987934</link></image><lastBuildDate>Mon, 24 Aug 2026 09:43:11 +0000</lastBuildDate><itunes:author>H.

Its translator discovers that while in Central Asia, Holly convinced the immortal Ayesha, also known as She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed, to write her story - and this is the book they have found. Ayesha, born the daughter of a sheikh in the 4th century BCE, has no interest in the arranged marriage expected of her. She wants power and position of her own. Led by a vision to believe she is the daughter of Isis, she studies esoteric wisdom under the tutelage of the mystic Noot, but her beauty and intelligence make her a constant target in a world where women are still considered little better than possessions. To survive, she must rely on her wits (and perhaps a little divine intervention) in a series of daring escapes and desperate schemes, finding allies where she can. But as she climbs higher in the service of her goddess, a fateful meeting with the warrior-turned-priest Kallikrates leads her down a road even she would never have imagined. The fourth and final book in the She series. - Summary by Jennie Hughes]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/71621318</guid><pubDate>Sat, 25 Apr 2026 09:00:21 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/71621318/wisdom_s_daughter_h_rider_haggard_part_2.mp3" length="66879989" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/4ab7d51d-1458-4f37-a00c-00039f26ec29/4ab7d51d-1458-4f37-a00c-00039f26ec29.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/4ab7d51d-1458-4f37-a00c-00039f26ec29/4ab7d51d-1458-4f37-a00c-00039f26ec29.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/4ab7d51d-1458-4f37-a00c-00039f26ec29/4ab7d51d-1458-4f37-a00c-00039f26ec29.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>H.

Its translator discovers that while in Central Asia, Holly convinced the immortal Ayesha, also known as She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed, to write her story - and this is the book they have found. Ayesha, born the daughter of a sheikh in the 4th century BCE, has no interest in the arranged marriage expected of her. She wants power and position of her own. Led by a vision to believe she is the daughter of Isis, she studies esoteric wisdom under the tutelage of the mystic Noot, but her beauty and intelligence make her a constant target in a world where women are still considered little better than possessions. To survive, she must rely on her wits (and perhaps a little divine intervention) in a series of daring escapes and desperate schemes, finding allies where she can. But as she climbs higher in the service of her goddess, a fateful meeting with the warrior-turned-priest Kallikrates leads her down a road even she would never have imagined. The fourth and final book in the She series. - Summary by Jennie Hughes]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>8360</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>action,adventure,ayesha,daughter,haggard,holly,kallikrates,noot,tutelage,wisdom</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/896035af746efd60b99227ff68aad3fe.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Wisdom's Daughter - H Rider Haggard - Part 1</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/wisdom-s-daughter-h-rider-haggard-part-1--71621317</link><description><![CDATA[A strange manuscript in an unknown language is found among the effects of the late Professor Horace Holly.
