Synopsis

Immerse yourself in an ancient Egyptian tale of loyalty, intrigue, and a priceless artifact that drives every risk and motive.

Set against the glittering world of Nile villas, palaces, and courtly plots, this story follows a trained adon and the dangerous secrets he guards. Rich with period detail and dramatic confrontations, the book blends adventure, power struggles, and moments of quiet courage as loyalties are tested and destinies unfold on the river and beyond.

  • Experience a vivid portrait of ancient Egypt, from luxurious rooms to the hunt for a coveted relic.
  • Meet a cast of schemes and loyalties, including a scholarly adon, a watchful secretary, and a web of rivals.
  • Watch danger escalate from private rooms to bold actions along the Nile and in hidden tombs.
  • Feel the tension of risk, betrayal, and the slow, hard-won return of hope.
Ideal for readers of historical adventure and mythic epics.

Présentation de l'éditeur

And Moses called for all the elders of I srael, and said unto them, Draw out and take for yourselves lambs according to your families, and kill the passover sacrifice. And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out from the door of his house until the morning. And the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite.
