A 3,000-year-old papyrus. A secret worth killing for. When esteemed papyrologist Dr. Alistair Finch is hired by billionaire Silas Thorne to authenticate a pristine Book of the Dead, he discovers it is unlike any he has ever seen. The elegant script and beautiful illustrations hide a terrifying secret: this is not a guide for the dead, but a cage for a soul so monstrous it was meant to be eternally forgotten. Realizing Thorne doesn't want to study the artifact but unlock its power, Alistair turns to the one person he can trust: Dr. Kenna Amari, a sharp and dedicated inspector from the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities. Together, they uncover a conspiracy stretching back to the time of the pharaohs, revealing that Thorne's ambition goes far beyond mere collection-he wants to become a god. Forced to go rogue, the two academics must outwit one of the most powerful men in the world in a desperate gambit to steal the papyrus from his impenetrable London headquarters. It's a heist that will plunge them into a hidden world of secret societies and ancient magic, forcing them to become the very guardians the long-dead scribe prayed would one day answer his warning.
About the Author From the tender age of a pre-teen, a burning passion for storytelling and the written word ignited within S.L. Faye. For 45 years, this vibrant dream lay dormant, obscured by the unseen challenges of undiagnosed ADHD. It wasn't until reaching the cusp of 50 that a medical diagnosis finally illuminated the path forward, revealing the adaptive tools and strategies that would unlock and unblock a lifetime of artistic aspirations. With every word now penned, S.L. Faye feels a profound connection to their beloved mama, imagining her exploring the ethereal universe, witnessing this long-awaited progression towards artistic endeavors. A proud blerd, devoted mom, and loving wife, S.L. Faye has always been driven by a deep-seated desire to seek justice, explore the boundless realms of abstract thought, and bring their unique visions to life for others. This journey has been one of perseverance and discovery. While the echoes of past challenges, particularly those related to ADHD, may occasionally manifest as minor corrective errors in text and prose, the advent of technological progress and adaptive tools has been transformative. These innovations are not just aids; they are partners in the creative process, empowering S.L. Faye to meet and exceed their artistic goals, sharing stories and ideas that have long awaited their moment. I invite you to come explore with me! "It takes a community, a village indeed.
