This lyrical and poetic tale is set in ancient Egypt, when Pharaohs and strange but divine beings ruled over the fates of all. Enter Anubis — a young god, powerful, introspective, and heir to the throne of the Afterlife. Within himself he harbours a dark secret, one that throws his immortal soul into chaos, and drives him to the edge of despair. For him, the only answer lies in escape — escape from the Underworld, by way of mysterious passages, and out into the world of living mortals. It is here that he
undertakes a spiritual journey, to rediscover the meaning of his life. Enter Iset — the poor but beautiful widow, who steals Anubis’s heart, and who tempts him to abandon his divinity, for the sake of an earthly life, and its many pleasures. But how far will he go, to claim what he truly desires? Will he sacrifice the gift of eternity? And will he risk unleashing a rebellion, which could threaten to bring down the very pillars of heaven itself? $4.00 on Kindle.
