Publisher's Synopsis
Ancient Egypt is in trouble; the evil pharaoh, Oba, has captured five of the most powerful good gods and imprisoned them in secret and perilous places. Now deadly plagues are destroying the land and bloodthirsty monsters terrorise the people. Only one boy can stop them: Akori, an orphaned farm-boy with a huge destiny... The dead are stalking the living across Egypt and Akori must send them back to their graves. But dog-headed Am-Heh the Hunter has sworn to destroy Akori...and no one has ever escaped his fearsome jaws.
