The High Priestess of Lumeria by Dominique Wright is a voyage into the sacred and mystical roots of ancient feminine power and collective remembrance. The story follows Solei, a divine-born priestess, who is called to awaken her land and people from darkness. As she reconnects with her ancestral lineage, Solei sets out on a sacred journey to fortify her island, Lumeria, against shadowy invaders intent on destroying the luminous web of harmony. The narrative weaves through her deepening bonds with allies—warriors, healers, builders—and their collective efforts to restore and protect their sacred home. A powerful evil is bent on disconnecting Solei from everything that brings her closer to her mission. To succeed, she must remember who she truly is, and time is running out. The story takes readers through ancient glyphs, divine energies, and rituals that lead Solei and her allies to ignite the land’s ancestral grid and awaken a new dawn of unity and light, even as shadow forces threaten to breach the veil of reality.
The characters are richly drawn, exemplifying wisdom, strength, and love archetypes—each bearing symbols of their soul’s purpose etched on their skin, glowing with ancestral light. Solei’s inner conflict revolves around her divine calling and the challenge of maintaining harmony in times of chaos, symbolized by the shadow forces and internal dissonance among her leaders. Lumeria, lush with sacred groves, crystalline waters, and ancient glyphs, serves as a living temple that responds to the collective consciousness of its inhabitants. The landscapes, holy temples, and cosmic portals are not mere backdrops but active characters in the story. Dominique Wright infuses charm into the writing and carefully crafts each sentence, evoking something magical. This imaginative, visionary novel will make readers dream of what is possible and think about the spiritual part of their beings. The High Priestess of Lumeria is more delightful than anything I have read in the genre.
