SUNFALL ON THE NILE
Two men. One drought. A collision neither of them chose.
Kaddu is a farmer, not a warrior, until two failed harvests and a sealed granary turn him into someone he doesn't recognize. When fever takes his wife and hunger takes everything else, he leads his starving village against a fort that was never his to break into. It works, and it changes him. Village by village, raid by raid, Kaddu's small act of survival grows into something far larger than he ever meant to build: a fleet, a coalition, a tide of the displaced with nowhere left to go but forward, toward the one kingdom rich enough to still call itself untouched.
That kingdom belongs to Ramesses, a young pharaoh who wanted, before the crown made other plans for him, nothing more complicated than to paint. He has spent his reign learning the weight of Ma'at, the balance a ruler owes his people, and now that balance is coming for him from across the sea, carrying farmers, fishermen, and grieving mothers instead of an army with a name he recognizes.
Neither man wants this war. Both will fight it anyway, because the roles they were poured into leave them no other road. As drought, hunger, and empire collide on the shores of the Nile, Sunfall on the Nile asks what a person owes the shape their life has forced them into, and what it costs the people who never got a say in it at all.
