Publisher's Synopsis
It is Egypt, 2000 BC, where death gives meaning to life. At the foot of a cliff lies the broken, twisted body of Nofret, concubine to a Ka-priest. Young, beautiful and venomous, most agree that she deserved to die like a snake. Yet Renisenb, the priests daughter, believes that the womans death was not fate, but murder. Increasingly, she becomes convinced that the source of evil lurks within her own fathers household.
