Publisher's Synopsis
A headstrong Egyptian priestess, her brother, their sacked colony-and a rescue mission.
When Itaweret's beloved Per-Pehu falls to the tyrannical Scylax, she and her brother Bek lead a mission to save her captured people and depose Scylax. Along the way, they run into all kinds of perils, friends, and foes-and beasts sent by an angry goddess. Set in ancient Greece 3,500 years ago, this is a tale blending magical realism with history, high adventure with discovery . . . and Itaweret's determination to save her people while learning her heart's desires and realizing her deeper purpose.
