Klappentext

FACED WITH THE EXTINCTION OF THEIR FAITH, THE HIGH PRIEST AND THE HIGH SEER OF EGYPT MUST TAKE STEPS TO PRESERVE THE GODS' KNOWLEDGE AND POWER. THE PHARAOH'S IMMORTALITY DEPENDS ON THEIR SUCCESS. One vision rocks the foundations of the Egyptian belief system. The pharaoh's seer, Kiya, knows that their civilisation will perish and their faith fall fallow. Horrified at the implication, she shares the news with Haremakhet, the high priest of Egypt. Only by working together can they plant a seed that will allow the culture to return and flourish. Her vision is clear. The gods wish to implant their powers into three loyal disciples, who will form a secret organisation that will cross plains and oceans to ensure that one day, the pharaohs will rise again and reclaim their rightful place as world leaders. Now Kiya and Haremakhet must find the best men within the priesthood and prepare them for the ordeal ahead. Nothing must stop them - not even the pharaoh. The only problem is they have a spy in their midst who will do anything to ensure they fail. If you like historical thrillers, quirky characters, and tales of mysterious ancient powers, then you'll love this historical fantasy novella.
