From Night On: Magdalene

In From Night On: Awakenings, we are introduced to a character with a longer history than anyone could have ever expected. Yael Magal has been roaming the earth since before the turn of the common era. Born in 64bce, she reveals in Awakenings to Hessa that she has lived for over two thousand years, but there is so much more to her story than simply living for so long. What she has lived through deserves an open ear and an open mind.

This is an extension to the From Night On series, giving a back story to an ally who deserves her own novel. In Awakenings and Pathways, Yael proves herself an adversary to give even Saturn a cautionary pause before making her angry, but who is she? Where did she come from? What has she seen during her incredible lifetime on this earth?

Who she is, as she divulged to Hessa, is Mary Magdalene and that the story being told today is so far from the reality that its about time she told her side. A recipient of the blessings from The Being of Water, the, then, young Meira was set along a path of indescribable challenges, heartbreaking losses, and philosophical lessons that only time could offer as she meets historical figures, spiritual leaders, and mythical beings.

Keeping with the spirit of the From Night On series, this is another journey through the world's geography, cultures, societies, myths, legends, and religions. What Magdalene offers that sets it apart from the others in this series, though, is a journey through time itself.
