Ayesha
H. Rider Haggard, Don Ward & Peter Tremayne · 5 novels · 3 short stories · 1886–1978
The Ayesha books follow H. Rider Haggard's immortal sorceress-queen Ayesha, introduced in his 1887 novel She as the ruler of a hidden civilization who has waited millennia for her lost love to be reborn. Haggard continued her story in later novels, including the 1905 sequel Ayesha: The Return of She, which reunites her with characters from the first book, and further installments tracing her earlier history. Later reissues and retellings continue to build on the same character.
