About this ebook

Discover an urban fantasy based on Egyptian mythology and set in an alternative version of modern London where the Egyptian Empire took the place of the Romance Empire. Follow Ani, a trainee priestess in the temple of Anubis, as she learns about mummification, the rites of the dead, and temple politics alongside her jackal familiar and the High Priest's son, Nik.


Bodies are disappearing and the investigation leads Ani to uncover how many secrets the Temple of Anubis has been keeping.


With her first mummification test looming, and her lessons about being Blessed by Anubis taking up her time, the last thing on Ani's mind is uncovering more temple secrets.

But when Nik discovers a missing body, she knows it's only a matter of time before her friend starts getting her into trouble again.

And that's without dealing with the fact she's accidentally dating Prince Ramesses.

If only the dead were the only thing she had to worry about.

Blessed magic and thieves. Ani finally has a Blessed mentor to teach her how to use her magic. Ramsses is taking up a lot of her time but she can't say no to a royal. The apprentices are already being tested on their skills and could lose their position it they fall. I really enjoy the way historic Egypt is combined with the current world in this story. It creates a whole new realm of possibilities. I received a free copy but my review is honest and voluntary.

I really enjoyed the opportunity to see what Ani, Matia, and Nik are learning at the temple. And I got a bit of a kick out of seeing them stumble into another mystery. I’m not sure I’m a fan of the love triangle that’s developing, but since it’s so low key at the moment, I’m reserving judgement. The one thing I would have liked from this book was a little more resolution, to anything. The ending leaves me with the feeling of everything being so unfinished. I received a complimentary copy

Ani and her newly attained best friend Nik are at it again finding some suspicious findings. It’s a regular mystery and detective series with these two finding strange anomalies. First the illegal organ harvesting in book one and now missing bodies?! As Ani develops more into her Blessed training, the courtship with the Prince has gotten rocky. I’m invested in this series as Ani journeys her path to Anubis’s Priestess. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
