Mystery Historical
In the fifth installment of P.C. Doherty's
acclaimed ancient Egypt series, the mysterious Sebaus—
a sect taking its name from demons—has stolen a powerful
secret, and the wrath of the Pharaoh Queen Hatusu knows no
bounds. But when the empire's great military hero, General
Suten, is killed by vipers, it appears events have
spiraled out of her control. Meanwhile, a dark shadow lies across the Temple of Isis.
The peace of this holy place, renowned as an oasis of calm
and healing, has been disturbed. Four of the Hesets, the
temple handmaids, have vanished without a trace. Will
Lord Amerotke, Pharaoh Hatusu's Chief Judge, unravel the
mysteries before further violence erupts? Or will Amerotke
find the perpetrators in league with forces beyond his
jurisdiction?
