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?
