THE PRINCESS. THE PRIESTESS. THE REBEL. THE TOMB ROBBER.
WHO WILL SIT ON THE THRONE WHEN THE BLOODSHED IS DONE?

A merciless new king has ascended to the throne of Khetera and war threatens as rebellion against his rule grows. Hidden in the desert, far from the golden palace, Princess Sita must uncover the ancient secrets of a lost city and face an evil risen from the dead.

In a palace swarming with enemies, Priestess Neff secretly plots against the pharaoh's reign of blood, studying the forbidden art of Heka magic. Can she trust an unexpected ally?

Along the banks of the Iteru River, Rae leads a group of rebels on a perilous mission. To succeed, she must earn the trust of the king's closest advisor and place herself in the lion's den.

And in the Red Lands, tomb robber Karim grapples with the new life he's been given and his growing feelings for the sharp-witted princess. Will he face his destiny or run like a thief in the night?

"When I read the first book in this trilogy I was hooked. That word now needs to be replaced. Having read the second book I am enthralled. As an Egyptologist it can sometimes be a challenge to read fiction of an Egyptological nature. Not with this series. Fantasy at its best is how I would describe these powerful, addictive books. The battle for the throne continues in earnest. A gripping read!" - Armadillo Children's Books, Postbag Picks
