Sabazel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sabazel is a 1985 novel written by Lillian Stewart Carl.
Sabazel is a novel in which the daughter of a queen forges an alliance with a rebellion-beset young king, despite tensions between their cultures. Worship of the goddess had been suppressed, but the king gradually learns religious tolerance. Their union occurs during a ritual, leading to the conception of a son, whose acceptance as heir becomes a major conflict. Sabazel's amazon society, which allows men only during quarterly rites, clashes with the male-dominated kingdoms, adding political and religious intrigue.[1]
