American Goddess by Steve Coyle: An Ancient Goddess in a Modern World

What happens when an ancient goddess who has spent centuries avoiding conflict is suddenly forced to become a warrior?

American Goddess by Steve Coyle introduces readers to Issanja, a 1,500-year-old pagan goddess who once had temples built in her honor and was worshipped throughout Scandinavia and Germania. But the ancient world has changed, and the gods of old have been forgotten.

Now Issanja lives a quiet modern life under the name Valerie Wells.

🌟 Meet Valerie Wells, the American Goddess

Once worshipped by countless people, Issanja has become a forgotten figure from another age.

Today, she lives an ordinary life in a quiet suburban neighborhood. She drives a Prius, cares for her beloved dog Kirby, and enjoys the anonymity of a peaceful existence.

After 1,500 years of watching civilizations rise and fall, Valerie believes she has finally found a way to live without becoming involved in the conflicts of the world.

But that peaceful existence is about to change.

One simple act of compassion draws Valerie into a hidden supernatural conflict and forces her to confront a world she thought she had left behind.

⚔️ An Ancient Goddess Caught in a Supernatural War

Valerie soon discovers that her seemingly ordinary town is hiding a dangerous secret.

Rival paranormal factions are locked in a deadly conflict, and powerful supernatural creatures are moving in the shadows.

What began with an act of compassion quickly becomes a fight for survival.

To protect the people she loves, Valerie must step out of the quiet life she created and face forces far more dangerous than anything she has encountered in centuries.

🩹 Can a Goddess of Healing Become a Warrior?

Issanja is not simply an ancient goddess. She is a goddess associated with healing, and for centuries she has avoided violence and turned away from conflict.

Now, everything is different.

The people she cares about are in danger, and staying out of the fight is no longer an option.

Valerie must learn to become something she has spent centuries avoiding:

A warrior.

But can an ancient goddess of healing learn to fight?

And if she does, what will she have to sacrifice to protect the people she loves?

🐕 A Quiet Life That Cannot Stay Quiet

One of the intriguing elements of American Goddess is the contrast between Valerie's ancient identity and her modern existence.

She is not living in a mythical temple surrounded by worshippers. She is living in suburbia, driving a Prius, caring for her dog, and trying to remain anonymous.

That ordinary setting makes the supernatural conflict even more unexpected.

The peaceful life Valerie has built becomes the very thing she must fight to protect.

🔥 A Supernatural Fantasy of Identity, Compassion, and Conflict

American Goddess by Steve Coyle combines ancient mythology with a contemporary supernatural setting.

At the heart of the story are questions about identity, compassion, forgotten history, and what happens when someone who has spent centuries avoiding conflict is finally forced to confront it.

Valerie must decide what she is willing to become when the safety of others depends on her ability to fight.

Her greatest challenge may not be defeating the supernatural forces around her.

It may be discovering who she is now.
