In the heart of Cairo, the past had chosen its bearer.
The Was Scepter of Seth was never a weapon to wield, but a force to endure. Forged in the time of Pharaoh Menkheperre, many had tried to command it—but no mortal had ever truly understood its power. It carried the memories of empires, ancient curses, and the price of divine attention, as relentless and sharp as the sun burning over the Nile.
As the echoes of gods stirred and mortal ambition sharpened, whispers rose from the desert—fragments of history clawing back into the present. Every step closer drew shadows nearer, every choice carried a cost no one was meant to bear, and the weight of unseen forces pressed like a knife beneath the ribs.
The Was Scepter is a dark fantasy thriller about the burden of history, the courage it takes to stand between what was and what must never be, and the power that lingers long after empires have crumbled—waiting for the unwary.
Some powers are too dangerous to wield… but too alive to ignore.
This is Book #2 of the Sands of the Damned.
