WHO WILL SIT ON THE THRONE WHEN THE BLOODSHED IS DONE?

A merciless new king has ascended to the throne of Khetera and war threatens as rebellion against his rule grows. Hidden in the desert, far from the golden palace, Princess Sita must uncover the ancient secrets of a lost city and face an evil risen from the dead.

In a palace swarming with enemies, Priestess Neff secretly plots against the pharaoh's reign of blood, studying the forbidden art of Heka magic. Can she trust an unexpected ally?

And in the Red Lands, tomb robber Karim grapples with the new life he's been given and his growing feelings for the sharp-witted princess. Will he face his destiny or run like a thief in the night?
