Unbeknownst to the royal heirs, Neff, a young girl haunted by prophetic blood-drenched dreams, holds the key to their destinies.To the south, the flames of rebellion ignite as Raetawy, a farmer's daughter, resists the pharaoh's oppressive rule and inspires an army. And in the depths of the desert, tomb-raider Karim stumbles upon a long-buried secret and awakens the monster within . . .Who will sit on the throne when the bloodshed is done?A scintillating, explosive, richly layered fantasy told in multiple viewpoints - this is the start of a must-read epic trilogy!Critic Reviews
