Daughter of the Mighty is the name for the Empress, ATU 3 of the Tarot trumps. It contains a “whole College of the Mysteries in herself, and these mysteries are those of both the higher and lower aspect of Venus.” That says it all right there.
When I wrote the book, I considered it esoteric writing, not a novel by any means. But I was blown away by the following review. Again, the tarot does contain a “whole college of the Mysteries,” and even better if a book can help them come to life.
review I found on a Bahrain website: Introducing "Daughter of the Mighty Ones Paperback" - a captivating novel that will transport you to a world of magic, romance, and adventure.

I'm always fascinated how readers find my books. I just saw it as an esoteric book exploring the High Priestess and Empress tarot cards using Gnostic texts as well as quotes by Crowley and others. I’m intrigued that someone found an adventure, because I do see the cards as that.
Another reader in the US just saw it as a confusing mess, and I'm sure it is, because the symbolism carries a deeper story than any surface story. I even had a Christian in Alabama, who was at first disturbed by the mention of Crowley and her fear and aversion to anything arcane, who actually found it a way to deal with the loss of her child in a car crash. It opened her mind to a new realm of thinking. So what is a fantasy or romance to one person is a spiritual trek to another or even a way of finding meaning and a way to cope with a tragic loss. That is the power of a book and even authors haven't a clue how others may approach their book, even dealing with reactions they didn't expect. I think we all approach authors or subject matter with expectations or a wall that we put up, but esoteric writing sometimes can break that all down and cause one to confront their own battles. Our imagination fills in the blanks and gives us a vision for our own eyes. And they vary greatly. Stay open to books and even those authors who we may not like or understand, because they can help us explore the collective unconscious or the shadows that lurk in ourselves in others, as well as the love the binds us all.
