Return to Isis

Isis Rising: Book 1

Jean Stewart

On a spy mission for Freeland, Whit is almost safely home when the brutal forces of Elysium find her. When a battered and destitute farmer comes to her aid, Whit can't leave the woman to a certain death, setting in motion a homecoming that is anything but safe. Whit's feelings for Amelia complicate their return, especially when the other women of Freeland are wary of Amelia - who may not be the simple farmer she seems.

There are answers in Amelia's haunting dreams, but those are as deep as the secrets that surround Isis, a colony mysteriously destroyed by Elysium forces. The ruins of Isis hide an adversary Whit has never faced before, one whose plans for Freeland have been dormant for ten long years and whose hatred of the women of Isis lingers from a distant past.

The year is 2093. Isis is only a memory, but the future survival of Freeland depends on remembering...

Return to Isis is the first book in Jean Stewarts' beloved science-fiction series, and was shortlisted for a Lambda Literary Award.

Isis Rising

Isis Rising: Book 2

Jean Stewart

In Return to Isis the women of Freeland remembered their ancient history, but the battle for their independence had only begun.

In this second book of the series, Whit and her beloved Kali, along with a burgeoning group of women committed to fight for their dreams, must rebuild Isis from the ashes. But politics have emerged as a force that Whit in particular finds hard to conquer, and a deadly saboteur is undermining their every effort. Isis Rising is a rousing futuristic adventure and an enduring romantic love story rolled into one. Jean Stewart's award-winning series continues to capture our imaginations and hearts! Originally published by Rising Tide Press in 1993.

Warriors of Isis

Isis Rising: Book 3

Jean Stewart

Fans of Return to Isis and Isis Rising will relish the third book in this memorable series. Whit, Kali, Lilith, and company return in another lusty tale of high adventure and passionate romance among the Freeland Warriors. The evil sorceress, Arinna Sojourner, has evaded capture and now threatens the very survival of the new colony of Isis. As Whit and Kali, prepare to do battle with a seemingly unbeatable foe, Danu makes her own plans to avenge a beloved friend's death at Arinna's hands. Eventually, high in the Cascade Mountains, they will face Arrina's terrifying magical powers.

Once again, Stewart weaves a rich tapestry of an all-women's society in the twenty-first century, bursting with life--lovers, villains, heroines, and a peril so great it forges a bond between all the diverse women of this unforgettable place called Isis.

Winged Isis

Isis Rising: Book 4

Jean Stewart

The women of Isis refuse to wait idly for slaughter. Led by Tomyris Whitaker and her chief of staff -- and former lover -- Loy Chen, they are attempting to launch a mission to replace the deteriorating satellites that protect the Border. But General Medusa is convinced that a civilian task force cannot succeed in this critical mission and challenges their control. As Whitaker and Medusa play politics, sparks fly between the rival women they have each chosen to pilot the shuttle, Loy Chin and Major Mika Reno. But the crumbling Border satellites cannot wait for the orderly process of the Council, nor the disorderly love affairs as the women cling to what may be their last taste of freedom.

Wizard of Isis

Isis Rising: Book 5

Jean Stewart

The long-awaited fifth book in the immensely popular Women of Isis series is now available!

The year is 2095. Following a deadly plague, America has split into two civilizations: Elysium on the east coast and Freeland on the west, with a vast continent made up of a Wilderness and a radioactive Toxic Zone between them. In this sequal to Winged Isis, Tomyris Whitaker, the leader of Isis, and her wing woman Danu Sullivan, have chased two Elysian jets across the Border and into the land inhabited by Freeland's mortal enemy, the Elysium Regulators.

Following the crash landing of their aircraft, the Freelanders are cast adrift in a civilization that has regressed almost four hundred years. Elysium has become a feudal empire of politically powerful clerics, landholders and serfs. A land of king-like Procurators where strong-minded women are condemned as witches and burned at the stake. Whit and Danu fall in with a band of Amazon rebels as they fight for survival. Meanwhile in Freeland, Kali and Tor grow impatient with procedural delays and mount their own rescue mission to save Whit and Danu. As the four Freelanders grow more determined than ever to be reunited, Kali's rescue mission goes awry, and Whit finds herself fighting to save Kali's life.
