A new reign is coming . . . A lush, epic Ancient Egyptian fantasy trilogy simmering with romance, rebellion, magic and monsters. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Tahereh Mafi, and Sabaa Tahir.

Princess. Priestess. Rebel. Thief.

Who will sit on the throne when the bloodshed is done?

The kingdom of Khetara is a land divided. The pharaoh is dying, and his enemies are great in number. As rebellion grows and secrets flourish, four strangers must face their destinies.

In the golden capital, Princess
Sita is caught in a web of sensuality and deceit, the burden of a treacherous truth weighing heavily on her soul.

At the sacred temple,
Neff, a priestess-in-training haunted by prophetic blood-drenched dreams, holds the key to the royal heirs' fates.

To the south, the flames of rebellion ignite as
Rae, a farmer's daughter, resists the pharaoh's oppressive rule and inspires an army.

And in the depths of the desert, a tomb robber called
Karim stumbles upon a long-buried secret and awakens the monster within . . .

The first book of the Throne of Khetara trilogy.
