Thus, in the later Avesta, we find not only Mithra but also purely popular divinities such as the angel of victory, Verethraghna, Anahita (Anaitis), the goddess of the water, Tishrya (Sirius), and other heavenly bodies, invoked with special preference.
Anahita is a teenager growing up in early 20th Century Persia, and she has a major problem.
Her betrothed, much older than Anahita, has had three previous wives, all of whom have died under mysterious circumstances.
Needless to say, Anahita does not want to marry him.
This is an engrossing story that allows the reader to follow Anahita on her quest for true love.
