Publisher's Synopsis
Alex Philothea thought life would be less complicated now that she was no longer the interim director of KHNM. She was wrong.
The Keepers of the Holy and Noble Maat (KHNM) shield the mortal realm from the lethal chaos of the ancient Egyptian Gods. Under a crushing eviction deadline of midnight, the agency is being driven from its headquarters by ongoing litigation with the Gods. The agents of KHNM race against the clock to pack unstable supernatural artifacts they have guarded for centuries. With nowhere to go and only a menu of bad options to choose from, the agency shelves Alex's plan to return a primordial book of magic to her ancestors in the lost oasis. If this due date isn't met, the ancient water lore within will be lost forever-a deadly late fee humanity can't afford to pay. As chaos swirls around her, an artifact stolen by a formidable immortal adversary sets Alex on a perilous quest.
All the while whispers from the Gods calling for Alex's death grow louder.
