In the world of the pharaoh, there is one chief Only the Pharaoh and High Priests can communicate with the gods. All others who claim the honor are forced to prove it by any means necessary - or die trying. Though she believed her mother to be mortal (and long dead) Aiyah soon learns that she's inherited her mother's powers of sight - and the scheming gods of ancient Egypt & Kush know it too. Summoned to the Palace of Immortals for the first time, Aiyah meets her mother's side of the family and is quickly forced to strike a deal with the help them to defeat the World Encircler and Dragon of the Nile in exchange for information about what happened to her goddess mother, Wadjet. Raised outside of the palace, Aiyah’s courage and wit quickly thrust her into a world of cunning, lies, and danger.

Or will she die trying?
